Stop ‘Sucking off the Stigma’: Refusing Mental Health Anti-Stigma Campaigns This paper examines the cultural and political economy of stigma and anti-stigma in mental health. Mental health anti-stigma campaigns present stigma as something produced by myths circulated within media-cultures; myths which can be dissipated through the dissemination of “the facts” of mental illness and personal testimonies of those with lived experience. Rather than focus on the individual stories of “the stigmatized” as Goffman’s work has inspired many to do, I will instead explore how this anti-stigma industry determine the limits of what might be said about mental health and by whom, in effect depoliticizing distress and capitalizing on the further disenfranchisement of Mad-identified people. |
