The stigma around mental health and treatment has long existed, even though this has started to change.

[Health Matters with Heather @MattersHealth1]

There are three elements of stigma;

1.) A lack of knowledge (ignorance).
2.) Negative attitudes (prejudice) 3.)People behaving in ways that disadvantage the stigmatised person (discrimination)

[Health Matters with Heather @MattersHealth1]

People who are subjected to stigma are more likely to experience:
*Reluctance to seek out treatment.

*Social rejection, avoidance, and isolation.

*Worse psychological well-being.

*Poor understanding among friends and family.

*Increased feelings of shame and self-doubt.

Stigma comes as a lack of understanding from others, which can be invalidating and painful, but stigma also carries more serious consequences including fueling fear, anger, and intolerance directed at other people.
