The Power of Reframing a Mental Health Diagnosis
An article by Patrick McElwaine Psy.D.
Social stigma regarding mental health and addiction can be heard in derogatory statements such as ‘they are crazy’ and ‘they can’t be trusted,’ and labels including ‘failures,’ ‘dangerous,’ and ‘losers.’ Self-stigma is when an individual starts to internalize and believe these thoughts expressed by society to be true. Working towards distancing oneself from stigma and the negative labels associated with a diagnosis is a difficult challenge for people who are seeking or trying to stay in treatment.
