Just gotta say mimsies.... that sorta cracked me up. I'm sorry to laugh at your pain! But of all the luck! (My closest was getting a nail stuck in my foot/shoe. It was attached to a 2x4 block of wood, which kept lifting when I lifted my foot, so I couldn't get out!)

I think a lot of the reason why some diagnoses get more support is knowledge. Some of the more common illnesses/disorders have been being spoken about a lot more. The media obviously has a big role in making the stigma worse. People fear what they don't know. Sometimes also, someone can get scared off because they aren't sure how they could help the other person - failing to understand that leaving is one of the worst things they could do!
