In this episode, Senior Editor Stephanie Becker speaks with Professor Nicolas Rüsch about mental illness stigma and why self-stigma can have a profound effect on people’s lives. Professor Rüsch explains why deciding whether to disclose a mental illness is often complex, and why the Honest, Open, Proud programme supports people to make informed, individual decisions rather than simply encouraging openness. The conversation also explores how the peer-led programme works, what distinguishes it from other approaches to reducing self-stigma, and the importance of testing interventions under real-world conditions. Professor Rüsch outlines the main findings of their recently published trial and considers the next steps for research and implementation in this field.
