how does stigma prevent people from seeking help for mental health issues?
select a response.
○ it causes them to have a negative view of mental health issues and treatment.
○ it causes them to compare mental health and physical health issues.
○ it causes them to speak openly about mental health issues.
○ it causes them to use coping strategies for their mental health issues.

Explanation:

Stigma around mental health typically creates a negative perception of mental health issues and treatment, which discourages people from seeking help. The first option describes this effect. The second option (comparing mental and physical health) is not directly related to stigma preventing help - seeking. The third option (speaking openly) is the opposite of what stigma does (it silences people). The fourth option (using coping strategies) is not a direct result of stigma preventing help - seeking; stigma usually hinders help - seeking rather than promoting coping strategies use in this context.

Answer:

It causes them to have a negative view of mental health issues and treatment.
