Attitudes and beliefs of the French public about schizophrenia and major depression: results from a vignette-based population survey

摘要

BackgroundIn their study ‘Mental Health in the General Population: Images and Realities’ Jean-Luc Roelandt et al. found a huge divide between the French public’s conceptualizations of insanity and depression. The study aims to examine whether such differences can be replicated using modern operationalized diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.
