   Why do people avoid stigma if they are mentally ill?

   • They consider themselves part of the public, are aware of the common prejudices against persons with mental illness and do not want to be seen as part of the “mentally ill” minority and thus avoid public stigma. They also avoid decreased self-esteem resulting from being mentally ill, i.e. self-stigma.
