I agree that the media really exploits mental health disorders. And the bad thing is that a lot of people only read the hyped up stuff and not the educational stuff regarding mental health. I have been on a soapbox about this for years, first when I was diagnosed with depression in 1984 and was told by friends/well meaning people that I didn't have anything to be depressed about and second when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2002. I continue to speak out and use my Facebook page to inform my friends, but ignorance can't be changed over night.

Thanks for posting.
