This research covered the implications of the social stigma against those suffering from depression, and its effects on self-evaluation. Here, we interviewed 30 admitted patients in 2 psychiatric facilities in Sudan with the intent of understanding what challenges they face. Our data indicated that they were discriminated against socially (friend groups), but little to no professional (workplace/study) discrimination was noted. We believe that it is of the upmost importance that we conduct more studies of a similar nature as well as intervene on multiple levels of society so as to decrease stigma and discrimination against those suffering from depression.
