Psychiatric stigma I feel is one of the most self propogating things about 'mental illness' The more labels the more us and them the situation becomes. Your Lynn to family and friends and if you get upset about something your not showing dysthymic symptoms, inappropriate affect or negative symptomatology of a bipolar illness. O.K. depression is a more constant and desolate situation than a simple up or down, but how is this scientific scrutiny going to help when what we are actually seeking is the empathy, understanding and mutual respect that seems to exist on this board.
