This article looks at the personal experience of the stigma of mental health in a sample of people with mental health problems. Seventy-five people took part in the study which was carried out by North West Wales NHS Trust. Results show that stigma and the fear of negative reactions form others because of mental health problems are prevalent. A lower proportion of discrimination was reported compared to the experience of stigma. Future research will need to examine strategies found to be helpful in coping with stigma.
