Stigmas associated with Mental Health in India
Stigmas associated with mental illness are the misguided views that individuals who are undergoing psychological and emotional distress are different from us. However, all humans experience distress in varying degrees in everyday life. It is not easy for people to come forward and talk if they are experiencing difficulties coping with stressful circumstances, if they feel sad or anxious, or if they feel lost. The stigmas surrounding mental health make it even harder to do so. These stigmas can worsen the person’s mental and physical health. This leads to discrimination, withdrawal and social isolation.
