I do think about this as well, especially when mental health stigmas come around. I have bipolar depression, with generalized anxiety, aspergers and each of these factors are viewed differently. In relation to privilege I come from a financially stable family and my friends keep on saying that I should keep on seeking help and they say that my parents are able to pay for it, thus I should be go to and seek help, but I rely my parents for financial support. This becomes a huge problem when my parents don't believe that mental illness exists, especially not with individuals who are privileged.
