I think depression is starting to be more accepted because it is being more frequently diagnosed. However, "other" mental illnesses still have the stigma, some worse than others.

I/we learned very quickly when a phsycian asked why my husband took Zoloft and Seroquel to say, "Depression". Never "depression and dissociation". The looks on their faces when I/we said dissociation made all his credibility fly right out the window. And these are DOCTORS. It is sad really.
