2. Stigma is a harmful practice that unfairly devalues
individuals simply for belonging to a particular group
that is devalued in society. This can lead to
discrimination, especially towards minorities of different
religions or ethnicities. Those with a mental illness are
often stigmatized and treated differently from other
chronic conditions, despite being rooted in genetics and
biology. This is known as behavioral health stigma, which
can cause shame, prejudice, or discrimination toward
those with mental health conditions. It is essential to raise
awareness and fight against stigmatization to create a
more inclusive and accepting society.
Introduction

3. Marginalized groups, including racial and sexual
minorities, experience daily stress due to
prejudice, discrimination, and racism. Stigma
discredits, isolates, and creates fear toward those
with certain conditions. Discrimination affects
access to treatment and reimbursement and may
also affect other areas of life, inducing stress.
Discrimination can have a dual impact, pushing
individuals to overcome the Stigma or causing
adverse effects such as low self-esteem, anxiety,
and lower performance.

4. To create a more inclusive and supportive environment
for individuals with behavioral health conditions, using
non-stigmatizing language in internal and external
communications is essential. The person-first language
emphasizes a person's humanity and reduces negative
stereotypes. Additionally, neurodiversity, including
behavioral health conditions, should be included in an
expanded diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda. This
can be achieved by creating a supportive workplace
that prioritizes mental wellness and offers flexibility and
customization to overcome barriers.

5. Victims of discrimination may resort to unhealthy
behaviors such as overeating, smoking, drinking
excessively, and using drugs to cope with their
discredited identity. To address these habits, individuals
should start by evaluating their stressors and considering
ways to alter, avoid, adapt, or accept them using the 4As
method. However, managing stress is a process that
requires patience and experimentation to find effective
strategies. If anxiety affects one's daily habits and overall
well-being, it's essential to seek help from a physician.
Maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle is crucial by
prioritizing healthy eating habits, sleep, and personal
hygiene.
