Self-stigma assessed using the Self-Stigma Scale-Short form; depression assessed using the Depression subscale of the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21). Time 1 = baseline; Time 2 = first follow-up (three months after baseline); Time 3 = second follow-up (six months after baseline); Time 4 = third follow-up (nine months after baseline); Post-hoc comparisons were Bonferroni-corrected
