Explanation:

Fear and shame: People recognize the negative stigma and discrimination associated with having a mental illness and don’t want to be labeled “mentally ill."

Distrust: It’s difficult to consider revealing personal details to a doctor or counselor. Many express concern about “telling a stranger” about their problems. Additionally, they worry that their personal information won’t be kept confidential.

Limited awareness: They may dismiss or minimize their issues and say “everyone gets stressed out” or “my problems aren’t that bad” or “you’re making more out of this than you need to.”
