I to think it is important to be open about it to get rid of the stigma and give people a chance to understand. I find most people want to understand but find it difficult especially with depression. That is largely why I do it. I live in a small town and I told my parents that I didn't care who knew. I thought my dad would be more discreet but he seems to tell everyone. They need people to talk to too. It is hard on the people around us and they need support too.
