Stigma is one of the most serious informal sanction of society caused by ignorance and lack of information, and therefore led by fear and lack of understanding and empathy towards the person suffering from schizophrenia. Stigmatization of a person with schizophrenia implies the negative marking, marginalisation and discrimination of a person for one sole reason: the diagnosis of schizophrenia. This is a problem that patients have to deal with on a daily basis in society, which makes a huge obstacle for them in improving the quality of life. As such, it carries a series of negative consequences for the ill, from low self-esteem, patients pulling into their world, hiding the disease and untimely medical care, to undermining its own value, authenticity and dignity. Schizophrenia is one of the most frequently stigmatised diseases in the group of mental health disorders. It is a mental disorder which is characterized by cognitive knowledge impairment that disturbs the functional capacity of a person, resulting from the interaction of many biopsychosocial factors. According to the latest research, there were about 19,000 person diagnosed with schizophrenia registered in the Republic of Croatia, and 2 to 4 cases per 10,000 inhabitants annually registered. The disease leads to disturbances in the judgment, perception, behavior and affect that cause psychotic symptoms, and all together most often results in cognitive deficits and disorders in the life functioning of the patients. The clinical picture is mostly dominated by hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking and behaviour, affect disorders, decrease in motivation and anhedonia, and social isolation. Despite the efforts and length of the schizophrenia treatment process, recovery from it and achieving a satisfactory quality of life is possible. The patient, his surroundings and also a medical personnel play a major role in this, which enables the best possible outcome of the treatment by fully integrating pharmacological, psychosocial, family and working therapeutic interventions. The main purpose of this research was to investigate the stigmatization level of participants toward person suffering from schizophrenia. This research included a sample of 749 participants, 92,8% of whom were women and 7,2% were men, mostly between 18 and 25 years of age. For the purpose of this research, a questionnaire was made to gain insight into the knowledge, attitude and level of social distance of participants towards person suffering of schizophrenia. The results are surprisingly positive and indicate a low sigmatization level of the test group, but it is still present.
