The appalling stigma in "society" against mental health issues..

Some of the ugliest words have been banished from the "DSM" etc..

But the stigma remains.

People are dying.

People are forced to exist with appalling mental anguish (and likely blamed by the "professionals"..)

This is not good enough

Yes, stigma remains, even in "professional" circles.

It does and it's very upsetting to me. On another message board, someone who was an employer told me they would throw resumes out if they noticed the applicant was depressed and many people seemed to agree with them.
I don't know maybe they are just messing with me but from the amount of rejection I've received from employers it would appear so. I also had an interviewer who said his concern was that I stuttered.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
