That blogger's dispute over negative reviews only supports the poor rating someone gave her. Just goes to show that many of them lack insight into their own issues. I feel sorry for her patients.

I have always felt that the greatest perpetrator of mental health stigma comes from professionals more so than the public. I was complaining to my therapist recently about how my medical notes for an injury--turned out to be torn cartilage--described my mental health status, as well as noting that I was pleasant--something that never happened before a mh dx. She said that particular HMO determines the accuracy of a patient's reporting of symptoms based on their mental state. I said wtf does my state of mind have to do with my reporting of an injury? It's just so horribly wrong that I have to make sure I'm pleasant and compliant when hauling my broken carcass into the doctor, for fear they might not treat an injury. This never happened prior to DX. I am beyond disgusted with the whole scene.
