Discrimination and stigma decrease the likelihood of getting therapy, and as a result the symptoms could get worse. The recovery of people with major mental illnesses is negatively impacted by self-stigma, according to a new comprehensive review of the research.
Stigma is when someone views you badly because of distinguishing characteristic or personal trait that is seen to be, or actually is, a disadvantage (a negative stereotype). Unfavorable views and beliefs about people with mental health difficulties are unfortunately widespread.
Stigma may lead to discrimination. Discrimination can be overt and direct, when someone makes fun of your therapy or mental health.
For an example, when someone avoids you because they think you might be violent, unstable, or otherwise dangerous due to the mental illness, it could also be unintentional or covert. Even yourself might be evaluated.
