Hallie it pisses me off too. There has to be a lot greater understanding to get rid of that stigma, and with the media perpetuating the stereotypes that's going to be hard to achieve. I do believe there will eventually be a movement to de-stigmatize mental health issues, but it will take some charismatic leaders to get it to critical mass. And I'm really sorry your friend was so insensitive. There again, that's ignorance and bias talking, though.
