Oh, absolutely. Their attitude changes the second they find out you have a mental illness. I don't like to talk about it because it dredges up flashbacks of feeling humiliated and, in one case, suicidal, as a result of the treatment I've received from doctors. I've often wished there was an easy way to identify genuinely compassionate, well-educated physicians. They should be issued a "mental illness friendly" certification from an independent organization.
