I disagree. As with all things, it depends on who you are dealing with. Many people at my church are quite aware of my struggles with mental illness. In fact, there are two other members of the choir who have bipolar disorder. None of us are treated differently because of our diagnosis in our church. Not all churches or religious groups are exactly alike; in fact, when you speak of Christian churches the variety is HUGE. Many people don't realize that and assume all are the same. Just isn't so.
