kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
population groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors.

Epidemiology does not explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical

explanations for why specific disorders occur, or predict recovery.

Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the symptoms
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
the Asian culture.

mental illness begins to believe that he or she is what the public thinks he or she is. Label avoidance
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
refers to avoiding treatment or care so as not to be labeled mentally ill. Lack of knowledge is often the
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
underlying theme associated with any type of stigma.
