Jiwoo Kim and Thu Nga Nguyen explore why stigma around mental illness exists in some Asian countries, and why some regions lack the openness that has come to be in other parts of the world. From language, to ideological perspectives, to common assumptions, these speakers show us that awareness of the roots of these attitudes is the pathway to change.
