Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question asks for a common reason why someone might avoid seeking help for a mental health concern.
Review each option carefully and consider typical psychological and social barriers to seeking help.
Recognize that 'Fear of stigma or being judged by others' is a well-documented barrier in psychology, where individuals worry about negative perceptions from others.

Conclude that the fear of stigma or judgment is a common and significant reason why people might avoid seeking mental health support.
