Statistics show that thousands of people around the world are living with suicidal ideation. There is still a lot of stigma surrounding having these thoughts and the condition that can cause them. This results in discriminatory actions and attitudes towards people who are living with suicidal ideation, on both a personal and public level. Mental health stigma has a number of harmful impacts such as reduced hope, lower self-esteem, increased psychiatric symptoms, difficulty with social relationships, and reduced likelihood of getting or staying with treatment.
This Research Topic aims to showcase evidence on why the stigma surrounding suicidal ideation is so detrimental to those living with it. It hopes to provide insights to research and interventions on how this stigma can be tackled and awareness raised, in the hope that the research presented will translate to best practice applications in clinical, public health, and policy settings.
We invite researchers to submit a range of articles including but not limited to original research articles, reviews, meta-analyses, opinions, perspectives, and case reports to provide new evidence on the following:
- Harmful impacts of stigma on people experiencing suicidal ideation.
- Interventions on reducing stigma surrounding suicidal ideation.
- Health promotion in people affected by suicidal ideation.
- Interventions in raising awareness for potential risks of suicidal ideation.
