Stigma which has been defined as an “attribute that is deeply discrediting, and that reduces the bearer from a whole and usual person to a tainted, discounted, and inferior one”, arises from various sources and occurs in different forms. Stigma can be internalised or anticipated by the stigmatised person who accepts perceived exclusionary views of the society or who fears enacted stigma by the society on persons with a stigmatizing conditions. Lastly, stigma may be endorsed or accepted by the society. |
