ISMI-10 (Internalized Stigma Assessment)

The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI-10) measures how mental health stigma may affect your self-perception and well-being.

Internalized stigma occurs when people with mental health conditions accept negative stereotypes about themselves. This assessment helps identify if stigma is affecting your mental health journey.
