Help End Mental Health Stigma

Stigma often comes from lack of understanding or fear. Inaccurate or misleading media representations of mental illness contribute to both those factors. A review of studies on stigma shows that while the public may accept the medical or genetic nature of a mental health disorder and the need for treatment, many people still have a negative view of those with mental illness. This can lead to shame and self-stigma for those who need help. Reference: American Psychiatric Association.
