How can we remove the stigma of mental health?
Most people who have a diagnosis of a mental health brain disorder are not criminals unlike TV or the Movies show.
I feel that it is the last stigma.
You can be Gay, have AIDS/HIV now; even at one time having cancer was not discussed.. But dare admit that you on medication for depression or such.
I have lost friendships because of my disclosure of having depression.
The support and understanding of family and friends helps a lot. As we can not just snap out of it without help. It is a disease, a chemical imbalance and a life that has just to many bad events happen to them .
I hope with Owen Wilson’s disclosure that it will help a little more to acceptance and understanding.
Part of people’s reaction to mental illness is the implicit narcissism of those with mental disorders. Many tend to focus on the problem and fail to get on with the business of living once treatment regime is underway.
It a person that is being treated for depression fails to change behavior and attitudes when it comes to relationship the stigma remains. Don’t make a big deal of your "condition" around others, you may be treated differently. Sure it’s chemical imbalance, it’s your’s not the other persons.. get it? Disclosure is stupid, narcissistic, for that matter so are those who tend to tout any of the "special" needs.
I’ve been a recovering drunk for 21 years, I live my life by living in the solution and not the problem. Perhaps you should too..

Mike Adams’Health Ranger’on Alex Jones Tv Chemical Based Medicines Don’t Work! 4/5
Alex talks about vaccines with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, of Natural News.
The only thing that stands between a person and their own perfect health is information. Empowered with the right information, anyone can improve their health, reduce their dependence on prescription drugs, enhance their quality of life and expand their mental awareness and creativity.
Achieving outstanding health is not complicated. The human body already knows how to be healthy. All you have to do is give your body outstanding nutrition so that it has the building materials it needs to heal disease and rebuild itself from the inside out. You must also avoid all of the foods and food ingredients that cause disease. Today, more than 95% of all chronic disease is caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise. Mike Adams
