A comparative study of social distance toward epilepsy and mental health conditions in Japan.

We identified distinct predictors for each condition: belief in epilepsy's treatability had a marginally significant effect ( β = 0.203, p = 0.064), higher education was strongly associated with reduced perceived social distance for depression ( β = −0.283, p = 0.006), and witnessing an epileptic seizure significantly increased perceived social distance for panic disorder ( β = 0.285, p = 0.012) and schizophrenia ( β = 0.298, p = 0.011).

Social distance approached significance ( β = 0.222, p = 0.067).

Higher age showed a trend toward greater perceived social distance from depression, while higher education levels were significantly associated with reduced perceived social distance.

The SAPE‐J Social Distance subscale demonstrated a small positive effect ( B = −0.025, SE = 0.066, β = −0.044, p = 0.703), though it did not reach statistical significance.

The Social Distance subscale ( B = 0.131, SE = 0.071, β = 0.222, p = 0.067) showed a small but notable trend toward significance.
