That was good. There is still such a stigma about mental illness.

Everybody understands if you have to go once a week to the chiropractor, but if you need time off from work to go to therapy during office hours (because that’s the only time you can usualy get), or are taking medication for depression, you can’t tell anyone at work, or they will think you are “crazy” or unstable, or that you are just being self-indulgent. People who don’t have depression don’t understand.

Also, there are people who need to get help, but don’t, because they don’t want to be labeled.
