Gotta agree w/ the so called anti-stigma ads increasing stigma. There is one that keeps playing here where all these folks come out wearing sweatshirts or Teeshirts w/ a LABEL on it, like depression, bipolar, PTSD, partner, sister--OK I get it one person is a label and illness the other is a sister, spouse, brother etc. What happened to I'm not my illness? I have PTSD, not I am PTSD?

Gee thanks very much, pass the label please.
