Abstract

Ableist culture stigmatises psychiatric and psychological conditions, which perpetuates misconceptions about them and can discourage people from seeking appropriate treatment for mental conditions. This editorial examines how pejorative use of diagnostic terms contributes to stigmatisation, identifies its discriminatory impact and explores its connection to fears about becoming disabled.

摘要

残障主义文化使精神疾病和心理状况受到污名化，这使得对它们的误解长期存在，并可能阻碍人们寻求针对心理状况的适当治疗。这篇社论探讨了诊断术语的贬义使用如何导致污名化，确定其歧视性影响，并探究其与对成为残疾人的恐惧之间的联系。
