The Mental Health Measure
Mental illness or mental health stigma is when a person or group of people are discredited or otherwise looked down upon due to their mental health. This includes reducing a person to a collection of symptoms or diagnosis, or assuming that they are unable to participate fully in society, or somehow “lesser” than others. Stigma can lead to discrimination which can exacerbate symptoms of mental ill-health.
