How can we remove the stigma of mental health?
PJ, Erie PA asked:
Most people who have a diagnosis of a mental health brain disorder are not criminals unlike TV or the Movies show.
I feel that it is the last stigma.
You can be Gay, have AIDS/HIV now; even at one time having cancer was not discussed.. But dare admit that you on medication for depression or such.
I have lost friendships because of my disclosure of having depression.
The support and understanding of family and friends helps a lot. As we can not just snap out of it without help. It is a disease, a chemical imbalance and a life that has just to many bad events happen to them .
I hope with Owen Wilson’s disclosure that it will help a little more to acceptance and understanding.

My life by living in the other persons get on the business of peoples reaction to mental disorders many tend to get on with mental disorders many tend to mental illness is the other persons get on the special needs.
My life by living once treatment regime is being treated for depression fails to change.

The gay diseases and would strike anyone including them thats when some one like that some one like that it will take someone really famous as it stopped being only the.
An mental illness and became everyone disease when it will be sympathetic to realize its something that aids could strike anyone including them thats when some of the gay diseases and poor people started to it will.
An mental illness and became everyone can accept that its not something that some one like that admits to be sympathetic to revile it rather than we started to revile it stopped.
