- Authors
Keogh, Brian
- Abstract
Using qualitative data collected from 31 participants, this article describes mental health service users' disclosure practices following their discharge from hospital. Perceived and actual experiences of stigma were key to users' decisions about what and how, and to whom, to disclose information about their time in hospital. The article goes on to present some strategies to assist mental health service users' desire in managing information about their mental distress and their hospitalisation experiences.
