People (doctors included) need to grow more empathy towards those who are sick or suffering from any type of illness, visible or not. Often doctors forget they are treating patients and act as if they deal with numbers not humans. People judge and label those who are sick or suffering because of their lack of understanding. Their ignorance turns them into insensitive persons. A lot of those who are truly suffering prefer to distance themselves from others in order to avoid getting hurt, judged and so on.
