People attacked you for being on meds? Because of their opposition to meds or to your revelation of getting mental health help?
Re: Stigma. It also doesn't seem to be as big a deal these days to be/say you're on an anti-depressant as it used to be. I think Prozac started that. So many were on it, it became part of the cultural lexicon. So I don't mind telling (some) people I'm on an anti-depressant; depression is seen as far less serious of a disease than almost everything else. It's "sadness" not mental illness to a lot of people, and that's fine by me for them to think so.
