According to WHO, “Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” Stigma is a term used to describe unfavourable attitudes or ideas held about a person because of a defining attribute, such as mental illness.   The purpose of this essay is to examine how stigma is a barrier to mental health and how to overcome such cultural and often self-imposed barriers in diverse communities.
