Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry's feeling of "stigma" suggests that he experienced social stigma, which means that he was treated differently or negatively by others because of his mental illness. The fact that he specifically mentioned "stigma" implies that he was aware of and affected by the negative attitudes and behaviors of others towards him, which could include avoidance or discrimination. The other options (A, C, and D) do not address the issue of social stigma.
