Erving Goffman defines stigma as a socially discrediting attribute that leads to the rejection of individuals, causing a gap between their virtual and actual social identities. Stigmatized individuals face negative reactions and are often devalued or ignored, particularly in the context of mental health. The stigmatizer employs threats and stereotypes, which can harm the self-esteem and mental well-being of the stigmatized.
