There is no stigmas in this any longer, I know from personal experience and secrecy laws are much stronger than a few years ago, agencies are more liable and can be sued if they hold prejudices towards patients/covered members of insurance. One should never feel ashamed or embarressed of getting professional help regardless of the type of illness. Today mental illness, etc. is more widely accepted, you see more comercials on TV and in magazines advertising antidepressants, various meds for ADD/ADHD, etc. This is a sure sign things have come a long way and now insurance companies cover portions of psychiatric and therapist fees, years ago they wouldn't cover anything related to mental health, another sign that more and more people need help that probably denied themselves of getting, worried about a stupid thing called "stigma". Many people still afraid try to rely on their GP for the same treatment and sure they'll try to it is another source of income for them, but the truth is they are NOT psychiatrists and do NOT hold a degree or necessary knowledge to give proper treatment and/or support.
Sorry, just my 2 cents.
Take care,
