Abstract

The aim is to analyze the stigma associated with severe and persistent mental illness in the general population of the community of Madrid, Spain, as a first step to promote strategies to fight against it. Participants (n = 439) showed adequate general knowledge about mental illness, but a high degree of confusion with mental retardation. Stigmatizing attitudes focusing mainly on the disposition to help and on pity. Moreover, there were some perception of contamination and pity toward other family members. Psychosis seems to shows more stigma attitudes than cancer and depression, but less than cocaine addiction and AIDS.

In the study by Corrigan et al. (2006), different degrees of relationship with the mentally ill person were used, which were distributed randomly in the sample. In order to match the conditions, the data presented herein refer to the results obtained when the relationship was “parents” because it was the most similar to the relationship used in the present study, where all the participants responded to the FSQ referring only to the mother.
