Answer:

Hi!

If what you're looking for is true or false, then the answer would be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

As of 2013, globally 70% of people suffering from mental illness received no treatment. One of the main reasons for this is that the fear of stigma and the resulting discrimination discourages individuals from speaking up and seeking help. Fear of treatment, shame, and embarrassment are keeping a large number of people from seeking help for emotional and mental problems, and this affects people all aroung the world.
