Not many. I'm not ashamed of having a physical disorder, but it's been my experience that when many people know someone is mentally ill they tend to default to stigma as soon as they don't agree with the mentally ill person. For example, I tell a friend about my mental illness, then we disagree with each other on some issue and the friend quickly resorts to 'well, you're crazy'. My own sisters have pulled that sh *t with me...and the sad joke of it is that both of them should be on psych meds, but refuse to drop their denials.

I guess when all is said and done, I don't feel like I can trust most people with my personal medical information.
