Abstract in brief
- The study found that people with substance abuse issues often face stigma, which can negatively affect their mental health, leading to lower self-esteem, higher depression and anxiety, and poor sleep.
- Conversely, social support can improve mental health and wellbeing, with those receiving more support experiencing better self-esteem, less depression and anxiety, and better sleep.
- The positive effects of social support and the negative effects of stigma on mental health are linked through internalized stigma and shame; helping individuals to leverage social support may help reduce these internalized issues and improve their overall wellbeing.]
