Stigmatization affects an individual's self-image, and affects healing. In history, stigma represented a negative mark that an individual carries for the rest of his life, today, efforts are being made to fight against stigmatization because stigmatization comes in package with prejudices, which are not desirable if a mentally ill person strives for healing. Studies by the National Institute of Mental Health have shown that anxiety disorders have the highest rate of occurrence of all mental disorders with the fact that 14.6% of the population will experience some form of anxiety disorder during their lifetime. Bearing in mind high representation of stigmatization towards "different" groups of people, research was made, through an anonymous survey, in which the attitudes, experiences and prejudices of students at universities in Zagreb were examined, towards different groups of people who suffer from depression and anxiety. As part of the master thesis, an online survey "Stigmatization and attitudes about individuals with anxiety and depression" was conducted on 152 students of universities in Zagreb in 2022. The results of the analysis of attitudes and prejudices show that there is a significant difference regarding age and gender of the students, field of study, as well as level of study. While a statistically significant difference with regard to the regional belonging of the students as well as the material condition, was not obtained. By measuring how high prejudice against people suffering from anxiety and depression can go, results that were received showed benevolence towards the sufferers and that was desired. Social distance towards people suffering from anxiety and depression was examined and it was found that the respondents (over 90% of them) would accept relationships with people who suffered from anxiety and depression in the past, as of suffering right now.
