a priori

. Acceptance of societal prejudices by people with psychiatric disorders can have a number of consequences, such as isolation, low self-esteem, and failure to seek treatment.

Research suggests that combating this prejudice toward oneself can be made in several stages: the first would be revelation of the psychiatric disorder, where the person tells others that he has a problem in this area of ​​health. This disclosure may be complete (for everyone) or partial (for example, only for people who have the same problem). Full disclosure, while being a valid option, can bring harm, depending on the environment - in India, for example, the presence of a mental disorder could justify a divorce.

A more affirmative attitude towards mental disorders would be the empowerment of the individuals involved, which means making them aware of their power, their capabilities, and engaging them in activism and self-assertion. There are studies that say that this type of procedure increases self-confidence, self-esteem, optimism and quality of life. Thus, in combating prejudice against psychiatric patients, there is a need for a combination of clarification from society, professionals health care, the patients themselves and a proactive attitude on the part of the patients, so that they can have a greater participation in their own destinies.
