這是我們與污名的故事
我們從 2021 年的研究發現, 37% 受訪者表示對於與經歷精神問題困擾的人士居住在同一住宅區內的想法感到害怕——反映出香港圍繞精神健康的的污名問題的嚴重性,但是此現象既諷刺卻不令人驚訝。圍繞精神病患者的污名與負面觀感使人更抗拒主動接受精神健康協助,使他們的復元之路更難行。一起聆聽 Mind HK 大使 Jeff、Coby、Claudia、Jonathan 和 Hafsa 分別關於躁狂抑鬱症、焦慮症、抑鬱症和注意力不足及過過度活躍症的精神健康故事,以及他們如何面對和克服圍繞精神健康的污名。
37% of respondents from our research in 2021 considered it frightening to think of people with mental health problems living in residential neighborhoods, a stark but unfortunately unsurprising insight on the level of stigma in Hong Kong. Stigmatising views on people with mental health conditions make it more difficult for anyone to seek help for their mental health, creating challenges and barriers for recovery. Join us in listening to our Mind HK Ambassadors Jeff, Coby, Claudia, Jonathan and Hafsa’s lived experience mental health stories on bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, depression and ADHD and how they faced and overcame mental health stigma.
