Objectives This study explored the stigma and mental health challenges that vulnerable populations faced during COVID-19 using in-depth interviews with 32 participants. Methods A generic qualitative methodology was employed, with data collected via face-to-face and Zoom interviews conducted from March to August 2021. Results Two major themes emerged: the nature of stigmatization and mental health impacts. The participants reported increased exposure to personal information, worsening institutional stigmatization, and routine social exclusion, leading to internalized stigma. They experienced extreme fear, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, and declining physical health. Conclusion The results underscore the necessity of a comprehensive mental health support system that integrates psychological interventions, stigma prevention education, anti-stigma initiatives, and customized policies. Future research should investigate the prolonged impact of pandemic-induced stigma and devise effective strategies for support and intervention.
