I've Never Been Victimized By The Stigma Of Mental Illness

Tweet

The stigma against mental illness still exists in America. I don't think it will ever go away. However, many people say that the stigma isn't as bad as it used to be. And I believe that. I started getting treatment for my mental health issues back in 2000. All these years later, I can honestly say that as far as I know, I've never been victimized by the stigma against mental illness by anyone. That just shows how much things have gotten better for those dealing with serious forms of mental illness. The stigma is still there. But not like it once was, I'm happy to say. That's good news for anyone who has already gotten help for mental illness, or for anyone who is thinking about getting the help they need for the first time.
