“…Regarding coexistence with people in psychic suffering, Salles and Barros (2013) note that stigmatizing attitudes toward individuals with mental disorders may be associated with stereotypes that are endorsed when there is inadequate knowledge or when there is little contact with these subjects to correct them.
