abstract = {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.},
