I graduated high school in 1976 and mental health wasn't on the radar at all, not even in health class. I am so glad to see MI discussed more and more in the popular culture, which will eventually lessen the stigma we face. There are a lot of celebrities "coming out" with their illnesses, and that helps as well. It's getting better.
