Definitely not! We have nothing to be ashamed of, it's an illness, period. People aren't judged for having Diabetes...we shouldn't be judged for an illness we sure didn't ask for and have little if any control of at times. People just don't get it. If I hear oh get out and do something...get over it...or just stop. Okay, I'll just stop being mentally I'll, thanks that never occurred to me before. But there's a stigma associated with the mentally ill and it needs to be addressed. I liked the movie Silber Linings Playbook but it left out soooo many issues we deal with daily. But it's a start. I'd like to see more shows, movies etc that accurately portray the mentally I'll, the types, severity etc.
