Stigma [2008-02-07]
Interesting article. I agree there I saw it while working in an orthopaedist A nurse You would think someone in the medical field, even though not in psychiatry, would be more knowledgable. She was a moron. I think the mentally ill are sometimes marginalized in society. Change takes time and happens slowly. Thanks for sharing.

I just found this article, and although it concerns schizophrenia, it covers any mental illness and the Stigma attached:

While I respect your right to an opinion, I would ask that you respect my right also. I have a diagnosis of Bipolar disorder and without medications I would not be sitting here replying today. They have saved my life. It does also take therapy, lifestyle changes, diet, exercise. Dealing with life head-on is fine but when you have a mental illness due to chemical imbalance your head-on approach is not sufficient. I just worry that opinions such as yours will continue to keep patients from getting the help they need. The Stigma of mental illness is alive and well. So while, I respect your opinion regarding medication please keep an open mind and respect my choices too.
