This is all well & good, but huge amounts of community education are all undone by a single newscast, just one headline: "Mentally Ill Neighbor Rapes, Batters 2 Elderly Women."

Face it, the media jump on the phrase "mentally ill," or words bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. Slowly the stigma might fade as science advances, but I don't see much hope in the immediate future except for one-on-one teaching.
