What are the psychological barriers to health services?

Answer:
I'm not quite sure what they are, as in, in definition as i am searching for the answer but i do know some examples of psychological barriers to health services. they are: fear of losing independence, the stigma associated with some services and not wanting to be looked after can deter people from making use of care services. mental health problems can also prevent those in need from accessing services.

An example of psychological barriers to health services would be a fear of going to the the chosen helth service because of coming into contact with the super bug. Or even attending a physio and being scared to loose independence or of not wanting to be looked after. Some people are proud to be looked after and so might be scared to ask for help as they may feel ashamed.
