What does everyone think about the stigma of mental illness, or mental health issues....I'm never sure how best to say it....do you think there is more stigma being in therapy or taking meds....do you think there is more stigma that comes from one diagnosis over another...or in different ways...like is it ok to have a diagnosis of schizophrenia b/c you can't help it....but not BPD because that is seen as something you have more control over? Even if you tell people that Bipolar is just another disease/illness that is beyond someones control would you date someone with it? Would you let your kid?
Do you think there will be less stigma now that there are more bio explanations for things (even though i abhor dualism, get it)? Should there be stigma?
