Answer:

Effective treatment

Step-by-step explanation:

Stigma is basically a negative stereotype. The media (sensational stories in the news), being uninformed (lack of education), and seeing someone with distinguishing characteristics or personality traits (the unusual behavior sometimes exhibited by those with mental illness) can contribute to it since it can bend your mind into thinking poorly on mental illnesses. EXCEPT for Effective treatment.
