Abstract
This study examines the impact of social stigma on students with depression at the University of Mataram, Indonesia. Mental health stigma remains a critical social problem, particularly in academic environments where students face heightened psychological pressures. This research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of ten students with depression regarding social stigma in their campus environment. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and online questionnaires, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. Findings reveal that the most prevalent forms of stigma experienced by students with depression include negative labeling and demeaning verbal remarks, social exclusion, and moral or religious- based judgment. More than 85% of respondents with depression reported receiving derogatory labels such as "weak,""crazy," "dramatic," or "attention-seeking." Social exclusion manifested as being ostracized from peer groups and family circles, while religious stigma led several respondents to seek traditional or spiritual healing before professional mental health treatment. These forms of stigma collectively contributed to self-stigma, social withdrawal, reluctance to seek professional help, and deteriorating academic performance. The study also identified that social support from family, peers, and mental health professionals played a significant role in the recovery process. The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive mental health literacy programs, campus-based counseling services, and the cultivation of an empathetic, stigma-free academic environment at the University of Mataram.
