Assignment: The Stigma of Mental Illness

Mental health stigma is noted as a barrier to treatment in many individuals with mental illness. Stigma can lead to a delay in seeking help and poor adherence to treatment out of fear of how individuals with mental illness may be viewed. Parker and Aggleton (2003) note that "Stigma marks the boundaries a society creates between "normal" and "outsiders", between "us" and "them" (Heijnders & Van Der Meij, 2006, p. 353).
