Thank you for posting this! Also ending the stigma for most people only includes unipolar depression and anxiety. Where is the acceptance for everything else? What about all the other symptoms? Acceptance progress is so dang slow. Snails pace. People give me weird looks when I talk about my issues. They are clearly uncomfortable. However they have no problem talking about their "normal issues".
Woah. Maybe I'm a little angry too.
