Self-stigma
Self-stigma – is a sense of futility that occurs when people believe they are unworthy or incapable of achieving personal goals because they apply the stereotypes of mental illness to themselves. Self-stigma also occurs when people internalize those public attitudes and suffer numerous negative consequences as a result. Self–stigma is distinguished from perceived stigma (stereotype awareness) and presented as a three-level model: stereotype agreement, self–concurrence, and self–esteem decrement.
