耻辱会极大地加剧精神疾病的体验。临床社会工作者经常使用的诊断性分类可能会增强公众在感知精神疾病患者时的“群体性”和“差异性”意识，从而加剧这种耻辱。刻板印象假定的同质性可能会导致精神卫生专业人员和公众从诊断标签的角度来看待个人。刻板印象的稳定性可能会加剧精神疾病患者无法康复的观念。有几种策略可能会减少诊断的意外影响。维度诊断方法可能不会以与分类相同的方式增加污名。此外，定期与精神病患者互动并专注于康复，可能会减少诊断的污名效应。
Stigma can greatly exacerbate the experience of mental illness. Diagnostic classification frequently used by clinical social workers may intensify this stigma by enhancing the public's sense of "groupness" and "differentness" when perceiving people with mental illness. The homogeneity assumed by stereotypes may lead mental health professionals and the public to view individuals in terms of their diagnostic labels. The stability of stereotypes may exacerbate notions that people with mental illness do not recover. Several strategies may diminish the unintended effects of diagnosis. Dimensional approaches to diagnosis may not augment stigma in the same manner as classification. Moreover, regular interaction with people with mental illness and focusing on recovery may diminish the stigmatizing effects of diagnosis.
