1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime, and many of them will also be victims of social or self- stigma.
Stigma is toxic to their mental health because it creates an environment of shame, fear and silence that prevents many people from seeking help and treatment. The perception of mental illness won’t change unless we act to change it.
