Stigma surrounding mental health is a significant problem for overall well-being and it's a barrier for treatment. Rogers Behavioral Health shares the different ways that stigma has a negative impact on mental health and treatment:
- Fear of being judged
- Barrier to asking for help
- Social isolation
- Low self-esteem
- Withdrawal from relationships
- Workplace discrimination
- Loss of productivity
- Reduced participation in treatment
