Objective:  A link between the disclosure of a concealable stigma such as mental illness and enhanced psychological well-being tends to be weak and sometimes non-significant, pointing to the importance of examining potential moderators. This study aims to examine how self-image goals moderate the effect of mental illness disclosure on self-esteem.  Participants and Methods:  College students who self-identified as having been diagnosed with mental illness ( N  = 174) completed an online survey regarding their mental illness disclosure, self-image goals, and self-esteem.  Results:  Self-image goals and mental illness disclosure interacted to predict self-esteem such that the positive association between disclosure and self-esteem was significant only among those who had low self-image goals (i.e., not overly focused on protecting idealized self-image).  Conclusions:  The relationship between mental illness disclosure and self-esteem is dependent on students’ self-image goals. Goal-setting may be a promising target for future intervention programs for students living with mental illness.
