It's disrespectful to people who have mental health conditions. Not only that, but whether you like Trump or not, the headline links mental illness with 'crazy looking' gestures, ability to perform a job, and involuntary psychiatric assessment; basically taking one's rights away.


It might be useful to have a stigma subforum to discuss these issues.


I sincerely wish that you hadn’t brought up Trump as an example. It is such a delicate subject....
