Negative beliefs that others have about a person with a psychiatric diagnosis is...

Impact
Stigma
Action
Brainstorm

The correct answer is: Stigma

Negative beliefs that others have about a person with a psychiatric diagnosis is referred to as "stigma." Stigma can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and social rejection towards individuals with mental health challenges. It is important to address and combat stigma to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Options A, C, and D are not directly related to the concept of negative beliefs held by others about individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Option A, "Impact," can be a result of stigma, but it does not encompass the concept itself. Option C, "Action," is too broad and does not specifically address the negative beliefs and attitudes associated with stigma. Option D, "Brainstorm," is completely unrelated to the topic of stigma and negative beliefs about individuals with psychiatric diagnoses.
