Research meaning — English
1. Feeling insignificant or without social value is an interviewer-provided formulation that the participant endorses for an earlier period and denies currently. Additional associative devaluation: F01 a source record describes parents feeling socially small because others may taunt them about a child called পাগল. It is a CHW’s explanation rather than direct self-report of worthlessness.
Research meaning — Bengali
1. সমাজে নিজের দাম নেই—সাক্ষাৎকারগ্রহণকারীর দেওয়া এই অনুভূতির বর্ণনায় বক্তা আগের অভিজ্ঞতার সম্মতি দেন, পরে বর্তমানে তা অস্বীকার করেন। নিজেকে ছোট ভাবার আরেকটি সম্পর্কগত বয়ান: এক কর্মীর মতে, সন্তানের অসুস্থতা নিয়ে খোঁটা শোনার আশঙ্কায় বাবা-মা নিজেদের ছোট করে দেখেন। এটি সন্তানের বা বাবা-মায়ের সরাসরি স্ববর্ণনা নয়।
What this research adds
Separates worthlessness from guilt and records both elicitation and later denial. Extends the existing interviewer-elicited individual worthlessness entry with a clearly marked observer account about family standing.
الصلة بالصحة النفسية
Assess the described experience, context, duration and impairment; this expression alone does not establish a clinical diagnosis. Assessment focus: social labels and judgments of behaviour. These are inquiry domains for the cited account, not diagnoses or interchangeable translations. Analyst: distinguish diminished public standing from global worthlessness.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
Anticipated taunting is linked with reduced self-regard in the worker’s account.
Attributed origins
The proposed mechanism is social judgment about the child; no clinical cause established.
Variation and visualization
The exact label is interviewer speech; do not count as a spontaneously generated participant idiom. The source uses ছোট rather than the baseline exact তুচ্ছ phrase; the relation is scoped conceptual overlap, not exact synonymy in every context.
ما هو غير مؤكد
Past endorsement and present denial must remain attached to the interviewer-provided formulation. No unverified synonym, antonym, diagnosis, mechanism or universal cultural meaning is supplied. No depressive syndrome, severity or uniform family response is established.
Commonness and evidence limits

Neither frequency in the population nor identical understanding or private imagery is established by these selections. Added evidence/senses from the supplied CHW contexts, not new interviews. Repeated files, reused paragraphs and observer judgments do not establish prevalence, consensus or universal imagery.
Relationships and comparison
These are scoped relationships from the research record, not claims of universal equivalence.
