The inability to obtain shelter because of negative attitudes about mental illness is an example of stigma.Stigma is defined as damage to reputation,shame,and ridicule society places on mental illness.Data are not present to identify grief as a patient problem.Data also do not suggest that the patient is actually homeless.Insurance parity is not relevant to this scenario.
