| Origin—A chemical imbalance in his brain | 0.047 (0.016) | 0.068 | 2.901 | 0.004 | (0.015: 0.079) |
| Concealability | −0.030 (0.015) | −0.042 | −1.976 | 0.048 | (−0.060: 0.000) |

The dependent variable is the social distance scale, where higher scores mean less stigma. Weights applied as per all other results
