Mental health has become an increasingly critical topic in the modern age, with growing awareness of its impact on overall well-being and functioning. Despite significant strides in understanding mental health conditions, social stigma remains a major barrier to treatment, acceptance, and healing for many individuals. This article examines the persistence of social stigma around mental health, its effects on individuals, and how this stigma impedes access to support and care. Additionally, the article explores strategies for reducing stigma, including public education, changing societal perceptions, and fostering inclusive, supportive environments. By addressing the stigma surrounding mental health and emphasizing pathways to healing, society can create more compassionate and effective systems of support that encourage individuals to seek help and promote broader societal well-being
