Stigma is a powerful force for social exclusion. In a 2022 survey by the Global Mental Health Peer Network, 80% of more than 400 participants in 45 countries worldwide agreed that “stigma and discrimination can be worse than the impact of the mental health condition itself”. 1 In the 2022 Lancet Commission on Ending Stigma and Discrimination, 1 we proposed eight recommendations for global action.
