Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
w cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care
w w w w w w w w w w w w
so as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
w health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental
w w w w w w w w w w w w
w illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
w symptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
w just those of the Asian culture.
