OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which people with mental illness in a New Zealand setting encounter stigma and discrimination and to examine their satisfaction with quality of life.

RESULTS
The majority of participants reported experiencing stigma and discrimination in a variety of contexts. In association with this, they had experienced dissatisfaction with their quality of life in a number of areas.
CONCLUSIONS
The experience of stigma and dissatisfaction with quality of life among people with mental illness is common. This has implications for clinical assessment and management.
