The aim is to analyze the stigma associated with severe and persistent mental illness in the general population of the community of Madrid, Spain, as a first step to promote strategies to fight against it. Participants (n = 439) showed adequate general knowledge about mental illness, but a high degree of confusion with mental retardation. Stigmatizing attitudes focusing mainly on the disposition to help and on pity. Moreover, there were some perception of contamination and pity toward other family members. Psychosis seems to shows more stigma attitudes than cancer and depression, but less than cocaine addiction and AIDS.
目的是分析西班牙马德里社区普通人群中与严重持久性精神疾病相关的耻辱感，作为推动抗击耻辱感策略的第一步。参与者（n = 439）对精神疾病有足够的一般知识，但对智力迟钝存在高度混淆。耻辱态度主要集中在帮助的意愿和怜悯上。此外，对其他家庭成员存在一些污染感和怜悯感。与癌症和抑郁症相比，精神病似乎表现出更多的耻辱态度，但比可卡因成瘾和艾滋病要少。
