Stigmatization	Social stigmatization weakened participants health, happiness, morale and self-confidence.	“I am not happy with how people see me negatively. It makes my blood pressure go high.”

Any small thing irritates me which wasn’t the case. I felt very sick and reported to a doctor and he said I sleep poorly which is true. I can’t sleep over the issue.”
Discrimination	Participants who experienced family discrimination self-reported distress, dejection, loneliness, and delay in recovery.	“I feel sad and lonely that there is no love from the family.” “…sad, very sad is the feeling around me that even my family treated me poorly.

I get scared when I see my colleagues. I can’t even eat well.” “…their behavior is frustrating me. I feel insecure all the time.” “I am psychologically struggling to cope at the workplace.”
Social exclusion	Consequences of the social barriers and modified social relations reflected in the experience of anthropophobia.	“I fear my friends, I fear them. From the look of things, they can say or do anything to harm you.” “…I don’t want to have anything doing with any friend.”
