Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stigma is a negative attitude or belief that others have towards a certain group, and it can be manifested in different ways, such as discrimination, exclusion, devaluation or stereotyping. Choice A and B are examples of how stigma can be manifested, as they imply a negative perception and treatment towards a person with a mental illness. Choice D is also an example of stigma, as it reflects a belief that people with mental illness are responsible for their own recovery and that treatment is not necessary.
