Cross-sectional study explores stigma among relatives of patients with psychiatric disorders, suggesting urgent need for public education.

Over half of the participants reported stigma, highlighting its significant impact on families of individuals with mental illness.
64% experienced patient-focused stigma while 37.4% reported family-focused stigma, affecting willingness to seek help.
Stigma was more prevalent among relatives of single patients and those with longer illness duration or treatment non-compliance.
Culturally sensitive interventions are needed to improve understanding and reduce stigmatizing attitudes in the community.

Shalaby et al. (2025) studied this question.
