I've learned with bp mass people have their own perception about it and most are way off.... stands true with depression too...

Oh I know, I agree with your point....just feel strongly less ignorance is important so that's why I added that bit. I mean I do not expect everyone to understand exactly what people with these disorders go through, they can't possibly do that if they don't have the disorder to experience it...but at least some more understanding that mental health issues are just as legitimate as any other health issues and are not reason to look down your nose at someone or constantly make negative assumptions about them.
