To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

I do think that to a certain extent, there is a stigmatization related to people with anxiety disorders. People should be more open and aware when it comes to mental health issues and not treat this as some sort of contaminating disease.Nerea wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 12:28 There is a part where the author mentions that “most people will suffer from an anxiety disorder for at least ten years without seeking help”. Does it mean people living with anxiety disorder might also be suffering from stigmatization? Or something else is causing them not to seek help?

I think the of been judged is also another factor that is affecting them from seeking help.Nerea wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 12:28 There is a part where the author mentions that “most people will suffer from an anxiety disorder for at least ten years without seeking help”.

Some people think that only the mentally ill go to psychologists and psychotherapists for help and take medication. In fact, they are smart people who go for help quickly if they feel stressed, depressed, or have trouble sleeping.Catie139 wrote: ↑05 Aug 2020, 06:03 There is no question that stigmatization is involved in getting help. When it comes to getting help from a counselor or psychologist in particular, there have been multiple studies done that show that particular cultural groups have a higher rate of stigma attached than others. Also, in many cultures men are taught that they have to "be strong", and any sign of anxiety would give a perception of weakness. However, I don't believe that stigma is the only thing that keeps people from getting help. For instance, some people simply hate the thought of taking medications. If they think that telling the doctor is going to mean that they have to take medication for it, they may not say anything.
I actually knew one woman who was embarrassed to go to doctor because she was afraid that her colleagues would consider her mentally ill. Fortunately, she still went to the doctor and started taking medication.
Some men also use alcohol as a way to relieve stress. They may be truly relieved, but they can become alcoholics through this "great" method.

For me, I think anxiety disorder can cause stigmatization.

Yes, if they let others know, they might suffer stimatization, and that will prevent them from taking further steps to get help.Nerea wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 12:28 There is a part where the author mentions that “most people will suffer from an anxiety disorder for at least ten years without seeking help”.

There are other factors as well;
Like not knowing how or where to go to get help.
Not being able to financially afford professional help
Or, they might not even know that the anxiety they suffer is a medical condition that they need to get help for.

Yeah, because they believe it is normal, it will come and it will pass so no need to worry, but what they dont kno is that it eats them up from the inside till they are far gone.ashleexry wrote: ↑05 Aug 2020, 11:41 People who may suffer from an anxiety disorder may not necessarily realize they're suffering from an anxiety disorder. They may just think that the amount of stress they're feeling may just be normal. Their thought processes could be like, "Doesn't everyone feel stressed or anxious when doing this?" The book describes many of the stress and anxiety signs, from chest pain to sleep disorders. People frequently dismiss such symptoms without finding a root cause.
