Description
Believing the world's stigma about your own illness predicts a worse life with schizophrenia, finds a 2024 study by Corina Gagiu and co-authors. The team assessed 139 outpatients with standard scales for quality of life, self stigma, self esteem, support, resilience, and coping.
Low self esteem, thin support, many hospital stays, and heavy self stigma together explained about 45 percent of the spread in quality of life. Women and patients who skipped treatment scored worse on thinking and energy measures. Late onset and repeated admissions also marked the hardest lives. The authors argue these inner measures belong in routine care.
