Subthreshold psychotic symptom distress, self-stigma, and peer social support among college students with mental health concerns.

Abstract

Although causality cannot be determined based on this study, a strong relation between symptom distress and stigma was found among those reporting low peer social support. Interventions that target both self-stigma and social support might be relevant for young adults with a history of mental health concerns who currently endorse subthreshold psychotic symptoms.
