Perceived Social Stigma in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Study from Iran.

CONCLUSION: Recognition of the impacts of perceived stigma on various aspects of the patients' lives are necessary to find appropriate strategies to deal with stigma and its consequences. Training programs can improve the patients' skills for coping with stigma. Furthermore, programs aimed to upgrade public knowledge and reduce the negative attitudes toward the disease should be promoted. PMID: 30315555 [PubMed - in process]
