The aim of the present study was to assess the stigma in patients with schizophrenia attending a tertiary referral government hospital. This was a cross-sectional research involving 60 schizophrenia patients at a government tertiary referral hospital. ICD-10 research diagnostic criteria were used for mental assessment. Statistics were analyzed using relevant tests. Of the 30 males, 21 (70%) experienced moderate stigma, two (6.67%) had mild stigma, and seven (23.33%) had severe stigma. The 30 females got 20 (66.67%) moderate ratings, one (3.33%) got a light grade, and nine (30%) had severe stigma grades associated with stigma disclosure. Twenty of 30 males (66.67%) reported moderate stigma, eight (26.67%) reported mild stigma, and two (6.66%) had severe stigma. With respect to positive stigma, 25 (83.33%) of 30 females exhibited moderate stigma. Also, four (13.33%) girls exhibited moderate stigma and one (3.33%) had severe stigma. Significant proportion of patients with schizophrenia experience stigma and stigma is associated with lower level of functioning. Better knowledge about illness is associated with a lower level of stigma.
