I believe more communities are left out from accessing medical help because of poverty. Unfortunately, it's also in those areas that stigmatization is prevalent.RachelEmmanuel wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020, 07:37 Joseph WK wrote:

While anxiety may be universal, the condition of anxiety as prescribed by a doctor is definitely only for the privileged. Most people both fear the stigma of a mental condition and cannot afford the expense of a psychologist. As a result they will not share their condition with anyone until it becomes debilitating.
Anxiety and stigmatization are they related?

Wow, for sure most people can't tell the difference between the two. Having Gustavo's practical guide is a way to get informed on these matters. It's therefore good to recommend the book to others.Melissa Breen wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020, 09:16 I think both stigma and a lack of general information is the cause. A lot of people don't really know that there's a difference between being a nervous person and having an anxiety disorder. Most countries don't have proper mental health services either and poverty can be another reason people can't reach out. But there is definitely stigma, especially among men, when it comes to any mental illness, it is such a shame.

If you take a deeper thought, it's evident that preassumptions about what can be categorized as stress or anxiety contribute to the level of the problem and how it's addressed.Ana Victoria2002 wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 07:34 Joseph WK wrote:

You make such an excellent point. Anxiety is sometimes considered as a problem that only people with time and without any chores have. Up until I was 16 I considered my anxiety to be something dumb and that I felt because I was bored or because I craved attention, it is a very stigmatised diagnosis.

Very true, people will most probably make conclusions judging from their previous experiences or intuition.rondanoh1 wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 10:56 Anxiety and depression are much less stigmatized than they were a decade or more ago. As a society we are much more open about our mental health than we were and there are better treatments now. When I was younger if you told someone you were depressed or anxious you were told to snap out of it.

- Latest Review: Natural Relief for Anxiety and Stress by Gustavo Kinrys, MD
Anxiety often begins during childhood or adolescence. It can be understandable that a young person would rather suffer in silence than be different from their peers and friends. Anxiety is often taken lightly or viewed as an excuse for being weak. Due to the stigma, people do not know how to seek help or they avoid because they fear they will be rejected by others. There needs to be more education geared towards mental health so people can get the facts and people with a mental disorder can get the help they need sooner rather than later.
