Kiddo, at this point doctors seem to be handing out APs like candy, for everything from psychosis and anxiety, to premenstrual irritability. While I think it would be good for you to talk to your parents about what's going on with you and what your doctor is prescribing, I don't think there's much reason to worry about stigma. Aside from everything else, if you just tell them the name of the drug, they probably won't know anything about what it's for. Problem solved.
