Most of the time that is not true.

I actually see stigma as people believing that ill people do have control over their problems and that they make a conscious choice not to take responsibility or control their actions. I do fully believe my brain does malfunction...and I struggle with trying to feel happy in a world where nobody seems to understand me yet I am trying so hard to be what others want. I don't know, for you to say there's nothing wrong with our brains and we can control everything...depending what you're talking about...I have to say I don't agree and this is a constant issue for me. I hurt because I'm not accepted for who I am inside.
