Abstract
Stigma is a set of attitudes, beliefs, and negative thoughts toward a certain situation, such as mental disorders. Mental illnesses are among the most stigmatizing conditions throughout the world. The stigma attached to mental illness in general is the principle of stigma toward physical health problems in this group of patients. We present a 28-year-old single man with paranoid schizophrenia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Stigma was a serious barrier in the Emergency Ward in both psychiatric hospital and general hospital.
