There are two major dishonors in mental illnesses: "public shame" and "self insult" 1. Public shame is to think that other people are not welcomed by society patients with mental disorders.

People insulted may internalize perceived prejudices and may have negative emotions about themselves. The result of this process is self-humiliation. Self-esteem is revealed by a decline in self-esteem and an increase in depression. I think that patient is embarrassed and suffer from mental illness. These emotions limit social interactions and weaken occupational functions. When a patient marks themselves as a person in need of treatment, this can lead to further deterioration of self esteem, which constitutes a loss of self-esteem against help.
