Summary
This study tested whether a 6-session educational program could help people receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) feel less stigma and anxiety about their mental health treatment. Sixty adult inpatients with conditions like depression or bipolar disorder took part. Those who received the program reported lower internalized stigma and anxiety compared to those who got only standard nursing care.
