چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background: To evaluate public perceptions towards the causes of depression and schizophrenia and identifications of fac­tors resulting stigma towards mental ill. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the inhabitants of Pulau-Pinang, Malaysia in March, 2009. A 24-item questionnaire was used to obtain respondent views. A non-probability (i.e convenient sampling method) was used to ap­proach the potential respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 13 ®, non-parametric sta­tistics (Chi-square) was applied to determine the association. Alpha value less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results: One hundred respondents showed their willingness to participate in the study; overall response of the study was 40.0%. Majority 69% of the respondents were Malays, followed by Chinese and Indians. Public re-cognition toward depres­sion was higher than schizophrenia. Lack of social support ( X 2 = 4.832, P = 0.049), chemical imbalance in Brian ( X 2 =6.132, P = 0.013*) and believes in supernatural factors ( X 2 = 6.700, P = 0.050) were the commonly shared reasons for the mental dis­or­ders. Evaluation in terms of stigma revealed that majority 61 (55.0%). Individuals with mental disorders were not friendly ( X 2 = 1.008, P = 0.050). Furthermore, one third of the population believe that they are moody, danger­ous and unpredict­able, it is better to avoid them. Conclusion: Overall findings revealed that Malaysians believe in supernatural reasons for the prevalence of mental disor­ders. Similarly the level of stigma towards mentally ill was higher among the respondents.
