Abstract
- The fear of being stigmaised by others often leads people to avoid professional help. This stigma can also be internalised, further reducing the likelihood of seeking help. Understanding these different forms of stigma can help psychologists target interventions at different levels to help people overcome the barriers to seeking help. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
