Les représentations du «fou» du «malade mental», du «dépressif» et les opinions vis-à -vis des hôpitaux psychiatriques sont-elles homogènes selon les populations des sites enquêtés ?

Overall, 41% of French people support psychiatric hospitals, while 32% oppose, preferring ambulatory solutions. In fact, opinions differ so widely among survey sites. They are not influenced by the images of people surveyed vis-à-vis the «madness», the «mentally ill» or the «depression». The way of organizing psychiatric sectorization (taken care rather intra-hospital versus extra-hospital, number of agents, etc.) does not influence either the image of «mad», the «mentally ill» or «depression» in population, nor the opinions vis-à-vis psychiatric hospitals. We deduce that these images are generated by other factors, probably cultural factors.
