Maybe you can address how we can make the transition from being labeled to being equal? I don't know if that idea helps. Perhaps quoting medical journals and facts to educate the public on? Just my thoughts. Good luck.

Thank you. I know it will be a long and hard road, but I would like to play my part in getting people to know about mental health and illnesses to help remove stigma.
I hope your treatment for depression helps you a lot

Thank you for the lovely suggestions

. I wanted to make forums for my social group, but I don't have enough members for that so I must wait for that to happen. I will post some stuff for that though

. Thanks for the response
