Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between stigma and symptom severity in adults experiencing their first episode of psychosis (FEP). The study assessed self-reported stigma, cognitive function, social and occupational functioning, and demographic factors in 77 individuals with FEP. Results indicated that the severity of delusional symptoms significantly predicted increased stigma, while race, IQ, sex, and functioning did not. The findings suggest that early in psychotic illness, specific symptoms may influence perceptions of stigma, highlighting the need for further research on factors contributing to different types of stigma and potential interventions.
