This article aims to explore social exclusion experienced by women with psychiatric morbidity, particularly depression. Stigma is a major hurdle for personal mobility since it potentially degrades the status of victims’ family and causes a great embarrassment especially in Eastern communities. Patients often are misunderstood and discriminated, restraining their true human potential. Similarly, the representational system of people with mental illness has been deeply influenced by a socio-historical product rather than pathological. Hence, such social exclusion is taken for granted in everyday life. This article is a preliminary study that employed a phenomenological approach to explore the significance of social exclusion experienced by the women. The gender lens was used to analyse the data. Four women who were service users of mental health care in Kedah and Penang were recruited and the data were analyzed through the gender point of view. The semi-structured in-depth interview and non-participant observation were the tools used for data collection.
