I think people who stigmatize mental health disorders are experiencing, but at the same time denying, that they too have a mental health disorder. There is more than one side to the mental health equation. There are those who recognize they have a mental health malfunction and are doing something to help themselves and create themselves into being more productive socially and functionally (which is a good thing and shouldn't be stigmatized), and there are those who poke fun at brave people who are facing their life dilemmas with courage and strength to improve themselves and the condition of our shared existence.

People who make fun of people who are trying to improve themselves are caught in their own trap of dysfunction and handicap themselves to the same degree they are attempting to handicap others, but they are too unaware to be aware of it.
