Consequences of self-stigma exhibit a four-step regressive model from being aware of public stigma, to agreeing with it, to applying it to oneself, to resulting harm on the self. We hypothesize the relationship between self-stigma and psychosocial functioning is mediated by three constructs: the why try effect, stigma stress coping resources, and personal recovery. Two hundred eight people with depressive and bipolar disorders participated the study. Data partially supported the regressive model of self-stigma. Awareness was not found to be associated with other regressive stages. The model representing the path between self-stigma-harm and psychosocial functioning was significant and robust. The path was mediated by the why try effect and personal recovery. Findings echo the growing body of research attempting to describe outcomes of self-stigma, in this case, psychosocial functioning. Programs meant to erase self-stigma, and its effect on functioning should incorporate the why try effect and personal recovery as strategic ingredients.

Objective: We examined people with epilepsy (PWE) regarding presenteeism, an aspect of reduced work productivity due to health-related issues despite physical presence, with a focus on epilepsy treatment and psychosocial factors.
Methods: We used data from 32,000 participants aged 16-83 years old that were obtained through a 2024 nationwide internet survey. The Work Functioning Impairment Scale, which measures "presenteeism," was used to compare participants with and without a history of epilepsy.
Background: Transitions from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the general ward cause great impairment of physical and psychosocial functioning in children and their parents. Better understanding of parental experiences during children's ICU-to-ward transitions is required to inform the development of ICU transitional care.
Aim: To examine the parental experiences during their children's ICU-to-ward transitions through the synthesis of original qualitative studies.
