Answer:

Several studies show that stigma usually arises from lack of awareness, lack of education, lack of perception, and the nature and complications of the mental illness, for example, odd behaviors and violence (Arboleda-Florez, 2002[5]).

Some of the effects of stigma include feelings of shame, hopelessness, and isolation. reluctance to ask for help or to get treatment. lack of understanding by family, friends, or others.

Social stigma; stigma is an attribute, behavior, or reputation which is socially discrediting in a particular way: it causes an individual to be mentally classified by others in an undesirable, rejected stereotype rather than in an accepted, normal one.
