Stigma. Stigma has been associated with seeking care for psychological health concerns in the past, with people often feeling judged or ashamed for reaching out for help. This stigma can prevent individuals from seeking the support they need.
A stigma is a mark of disgrace associated with a particular characteristic or attribute. An example of a sentence using "stigma" could be: "There is a stigma attached to mental health issues that can prevent individuals from seeking help."
Mental health awareness by the general public helps improve the treatment of those faced with it. Mental illness is often seen as something to be ashamed of and hidden from public view. When it is looked at the same way as a physical illness, the stigma associated with it will change, and more federal and state funding options will emerge.
Society needs to get over the stigma surrounding mental health issues. It's important to promote understanding and empathy towards those who are struggling with mental health conditions so they feel comfortable seeking help and support without fear of judgment or discrimination.
