If I am honest I cannot understand the difference between, sigma, prejudice discrimination and judgement they all seem similar if not the same to me. However' I guess it is when people don't treat equally to everyone else because of disabilities, mental health,, colour, someone who may be against someone's beliefs etc for example. Here are some examples; which is which I don't know.
This could be examples of Sigma in mental health.
You're making a mountain out of a molehill. your crazy, you're mad, you're off your rocker. Your overreacting, you're out of your mind, don't worry about it, these can easily get misunderstood. Attitudes, behaviours, how staff, managers are towards people with disabilities, mental health etc in work, study, etc. https://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/guides-and-publications/stigma
These issues really need to be aware of and treated before it gets to a stage where people's state of minds get more severe and we should be able to support people without facing them with Sigma. However' sadly being in the early stages is not always possible in everyone. It is not in everyone's case I might be wrong and this is hard to word without upsetting others, all same this is a hard one to balance. This gives no excuse because it's a huge effect on families, friends, etc but getting to the point many say some crimes etc happen by those who face major mental health issues but I guess that may not be always the case. Like I said in one of my posts those who may want to take your career into mental health further etc, psychology is another you may want to get into.
