Introduction . Stigmatization of mental disorders and discrimination against people with mental disorders remain the most persistent obstacles to improving the quality of life of these people. Stigmatization is the cause of deteriorating health due to untimely access to professional help . People prefer to hide their mental health disorders from others and from themselves.
