“…Accessing specialized private care is very costly and therefore impossible for many patients. A similar situation was described by a British study in which almost 40% of participants ended up paying for private care due to the lack of specialized treatment centres within the (public) National Health Service (Newton et al, 1993), and a recent study suggested that this lack of availability of public ED Services in the UK still exists (Escobar-Koch et al, 2010). These findings emphasize the importance of developing specialist ED services that are available to all patients and ensuring that financial constraints are not an obstacle to receiving adequate care.…”

“…Similar effects were found in studies on stigmatization toward patients with depression [22,23]. The average delay between disease onset and the first consultation with a doctor was shorter than that in previous studies [26,27,28], possibly because participants in the present study were minors at that time and their parents could persuade them to visit a doctor. Nevertheless, one third of the patients had waited to consult a doctor or initiate treatment due to fear of stigmatization.…”

Self-Perceived Stigmatization in Female Patients with Anorexia Nervosa - Results from an Explorative Retrospective Pilot Study of Adolescents

et al. 2013

Background: The stigma of mental illness has been identified as an important barrier to treatment and recovery. Previous research reported the stigmatization of individuals with eating disorders by both health professionals and the general public. The aim of this pilot study was to empirically assess the previous stigmatization and discrimination experiences of young female patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) using a retrospective explorative approach. Methods: An in-house questionnaire that was developed to survey experiences of stigmatization was mailed to 75 former adolescent patients with AN. The mean time of assessment after discharge was 5.6 ± 1.2 years. The patients were asked to respond anonymously. The response rate was approximately 48% (n = 36). Results: Feelings that society held negative stereotypes of individuals with AN, concrete experiences of stigmatization and discrimination, and rejection by peers were reported. A remarkable degree of self-stigmatization, as indexed by high rates of agreement to stigmatizing statements, was detected. Approximately one third of the participants reported delayed initiation of treatment due to fear of stigmatization and discrimination. Conclusion: Stigmatization plays a decisive role in young patients with AN and impacts their motivation to seek professional help and engage in treatment. Clinicians should be aware of the stigmatization related to eating disorders and its burden for affected patients.

“…These participants may differ significantly from patients with eating disorders (ED) treated by health services. [9][10][11] Knowledge is lacking on whether client satisfaction is related to outcome in patients with ED.…”

“…11,17 Patients with AN often report negative treatment experiences. 9,10,15,[18][19][20] Studies of client satisfaction in ED indicate that patients tend to be most satisfied with the therapeutic alliance and less satisfied with treatment elements aimed at restoration of physical health. 3,17,18 At the same time, these treatment elements are viewed by the therapists as crucial for improvement.…”
