Stigma, discrimination against mentally ill are common

There are a lot of different stories packed into this one article with video clips....I particularly like the idea of learning stand up comedy both to accept yourself and to advocate and also because it made me laugh. There is also a really good bar graph on stigma suggesting a third of people think that mental illness either sz or depression is due to either bad character or bad parenting.....I had no idea people still thought that way...

Anyway it's an interesting read....
