%X Stigma is the marking out of individuals or a group of individuals as "different" from the rest of society on the basis of appearance, behaviour or lifestyle. It is associated with prejudice and negative discrimination against the stigmatised individual or group. Discrimination occurs when society adjusts its behaviour towards the stigmatised person according to its negative beliefs.
