Bless your heart ~ I think that's the ignorance of their generation of drugs. They don't know that drugs can make all the difference in the world in our mental health. In their generation, they just "sucked it up" and went on with things. Well, things are different now, and people are different. We've evolved differently, and who knows what all the chemicals, etc., have done to our systems ~~ our mental health might be affected by all sorts of things.
I know that my parents never talked about ANYONE in their families having any mental health problems. None of their friends were mentioned either. So here I come with severe depression and have to take drugs for it ~ I'm sure they thought I must have been put here by aliens or something. 
Try not to let it bother you -- I know it's easier said than done -- but YOU know that your medications are needed and they are legal. LOL You know that they are doing you some good and that you trust your doctor. When it all comes down to it, it doesn't matter one bit what they think -- you still have to take them.  Sure, you would like their support ~ but if they cannot or won't give it, well that's THEIR loss. You are doing what is the RIGHT THING for you. Be proud of that!!
Maybe someday you can make them understand ~ but until then, just don't worry about it. You have enough on your plate already.
God bless you and good luck in your studies. Take care. Hugs, Lee
