Stigmatically is an adverb that refers to something that is related to or marked by a stigma. Synonyms for stigmatically include shamefully, disgracefully, disreputably, embarrassingly, ignominiously, inappropriately, and scandalously. When a person or thing is stigmatically identified, it can often lead to negative social attitudes towards them or it. For instance, a person who is stigmatically identified as mentally ill may face significant stigma and discrimination. However, many advocates and activists are working to reduce stigma associated with mental illness, and other stigmatized groups, and promote more inclusive and positive attitudes towards people and things that have been stigmatized in the past.
