Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-p) syndrome, distinguishing between two types of stigma: 'labelling-related' stigma stemming from the identification itself and 'symptom-related' stigma from experiencing mental health symptoms.
  • It compares the rates and effects of these stigmas on self-esteem, social support, and quality of life in individuals identified as CHR-p.
  • Results showed that symptom-related stigma was more strongly linked to negative psychosocial effects, while labelling-related stigma involved higher levels of secrecy, indicating the need for interventions that address the full stigma experience for those at risk.
