TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Intervention to mental illness stigmatization in the community JO - Marmara medical journal A1 - Topuzoglu, A. SP - 1 EP - 6 VL - 34 IS - 2 Special Issue N2 - Stigmatization of mental illness can cause reduced access to health care services. The majority of people with mental illness do not seek help, therefore the stigma of mental illness is considered a barrier to seeking appropriate treatment. Different interventions are presented with the aim of correcting negative attitudes and beliefs concerning stigma. These interventions have different outcomes, some of them have temporarily made new awareness possible, however, in most cases positive attitudes against mental illness stigmatization or discrimination rarely develop. In this narrative review, anti-stigmatization interventions and program methods will be mentioned according to some local experiences. © 2021.
