The burden of stigma may cause denial of participation in the stigmatized group. So fag; there were few studies to compare the mentally ill patients' perception of the other mentally ill with the perception of futureprofessionals in mental health services. We have compared stigmatizing attitudes of students with attitudes of patients with severe mental illness. The patients expressed higher stigmatization scores towards people with severemental illness than the students. Negative attitudes of patients with severe mental illness towards their own group present a serious problem. Actions are needed to improve their identification and reduce the perceived need for exclusion from their groupTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko zdravniško društvo
