Um, no. Not at school, not at home, not anywhere. If it hadn't have been for the old Bob Newhart show, God only knows when I would have even heard the term "psychiatrist"(!) Anything negative of a psychological nature was VERY shameful and would never in a million years be discussed, let alone accepted. Under the rug with it!

I graduated high school in 1981. BP didn't unequivocally hit for another couple of years, but of course the situation hadn't changed. When I had to drop out of university, not only was help absolutely not considered, but I was considered by my mother (who is bat**** and super-judgemental) to suddenly be a "lazy ingrate" (despite previously always having high grades -- you'd have thought that would have been a clue that that wasn't the case and that something was very wrong...)

Anyhow yeah. As bad as it is now, it is MUCH, MUCH better than it was.
