The time span and context of the review are set to cover the period from 2006 to the present; the review includes related themes of stigma. Recent findings The stigma attached to the management of somatic illnesses of patients with mental disorders is considered as a more recent issue of concern. Few relevant studies could be found. Medical comorbidities among people with mental disorders along with the treatment gap constitute a public-health problem. Summary The stigma attached to mental disorders in general forms the basis of the stigma towards the physical health problems of these patient groups.

Integrative services, and optimism and hope in health professionals are essential factors in reducing such stigma, and hence in enhancing better healthcare.
