'Stigma arises when actual causes are not understood, and the unknown causes fear.'

that is very true imo

yes.... the unknown would create a 'need to know' .. then comes 'the diagnosis'.... followed by 'naming' ... then categorizing and depersonalizations...

then is disconnection and alienations.... stigmatization...

exclusion, outcasts.. blaming....

because someone was ..... having 'feelings' ....
