“…Thus, despite theoretical and methodological differences, our results converge with those reported by Roelandt et al [1,2]. What they found exploring the social representations of mundane labels for mental illness (‘insane’ , ‘depressive’) resonates in our findings based on descriptions of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder as they are defined by modern psychiatric diagnostic classifications.…”

“…In their ground-breaking study ‘Mental Health in the General Population: Images and Realities’ Jean-Luc Roelandt et al [1,2] provided a comprehensive description of how mental illness is perceived by the general public in France. Using the concept of social representations as a theoretical framework, they explored the public’s notion of the ‘insane’ , the ‘mentally ill’ , and the ‘depressive’.…”

BackgroundIn their study ‘Mental Health in the General Population: Images and Realities’ Jean-Luc Roelandt et al. found a huge divide between the French public’s conceptualizations of insanity and depression. The study aims to examine whether such differences can be replicated using modern operationalized diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.MethodsIn 2012, an online survey was conducted using a representative sample drawn from the adult French population (N = 1600). After presentation of a case-vignette depicting a person with either schizophrenia or major depressive disorder a fully structured interview was carried out.ResultsDespite some similarities marked differences between both disorders emerge regarding beliefs and attitudes. While respondents presented with the schizophrenia vignette more frequently defined symptoms as the expression of an illness with a stronger biological component and a less favorable prognosis, demanding psychiatric treatment, respondents presented with the depression vignette considered the occurrence of symptoms more frequently as the consequence of current psychosocial stress, benefitting not only from established but also from alternative treatments. People with schizophrenia were more frequently perceived as unpredictable and dangerous, there was a stronger need to separate one-self from them, they were more frequently met with fear and less frequently reacted to with pro-social feelings, and they also faced more rejection.ConclusionsThe French public draws a clear line between schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. This applies equally to beliefs about both disorders and to attitudes towards the persons afflicted. There is a need for interventions trying to reduce existing misconceptions in order to improve the care of patients.

“…This may suggest that the word "episode" is rarely used when talking about depression. The decision to use "depress*"could be read through the lens of social acceptability, as far as people can identify with depression and think it is possible to recover from it [28]. Nevertheless, the diagnosis, and mostly the word "depression" itself, was associated with negative feelings, showing a match between signifier and signified.…”

“…Even if the diagnoses are different in terms of prevalence, impact, and social representations [11], both are stigmatizing, which can limit access to information and care [12].…”

Background For ICD-11, the WHO emphasized the clinical utility of communication and the need to involve service users and carers in the revision process. Aims The objective was to assess whether medical vocabulary was accessible, which kinds of feelings it activated, whether and how users and carers would like to rephrase terms, and whether they used diagnosis to talk about mental health experiences. Method An innovative protocol focused on two diagnoses (depressive episode and schizophrenia) was implemented in 15 different countries. The same issues were discussed with users and carers: understanding, feelings, rephrasing, and communication.

“…Los dos relacionados con la exploración de las actitudes sociales de la población general utilizan la misma metodología de base: la del estudio Salud Mental, imagen y realidad diseñado por el Centro Colaborador de la OMS en Salud Mental del área metropolitana de la ciudad francesa de Lille Roelandt et al, 2010). En una primera visión comparativa de los datos internacionales obtenidos, el equipo director del proyecto, dirigido por el Dr. Jean Luc Roelandt, presenta la descripción del estudio y algunas comparaciones generales interesantes, entre países de habla francesa de distintos continentes y países del sur de Europa, incluyendo nuestro caso (Roelandt, Caria, Benradia y Bacle, 2012).…”
