Abstract

In the field of stigma towards patients with mental disorders, we can see a change in the identity of the person, which goes from a previous history to being for the others "the sick person", "the schizophrenic" or "the crazy person". This new identity can be studied from the point of view of the patient, assuming that it includes his own internalization of the perception of the environment about himself. Objective:To describe the experiences of a group of subjects with mental illnesses about perceived social stigma and their coping strategies. Methodology: Qualitative study, the research was developed through the technique of semi-structured individual interview, individual to subjects that belonged to an Association of Relatives and People with Mental Illness (AFEMPES); the narrations were recorded in audio and later transcribed, making an analysis of the discourse. Results: The areas in which there is a greater perceived social stigma are those that are related to socialization problems. The coping methods used are resigned acceptance and conformism in most cases.
