On episode 74, we talk mental health stigma with Dr. Petra Gronholm. What does stigma really look like for various mental health disorders? We discuss the three parts of stigma: Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior; the differences between interpersonal and structural stigma; how to reduce stigma; and Petra provides us with 5 recommendations to reduce Covid-19 stigmatization! If you are curious as to whether or not you should approach someone about their mental health issues, we also discuss what the best approach is.
