Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study examined the mediating effects of social support and self-esteem on the link between the stigma of mental illness and the attitude towards psychiatric medication treatment. Structural equation modeling of data from 705 metropolitan area residents indicated that the link between the stigma surrounding mental illness and the attitude towards psychiatric medication treatment was partially mediated by social support and self-esteem. This suggests that the stigma towards mental illness directly affects the attitude towards psychiatric medication treatment. Further, that social support and self-esteem may reduce the negative attitude towards psychiatric medication treatment. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future study are discussed.
