Everything back then had another label, my gran had terrible depression in her late 50's and her kids all put it down to the change of life!!!! Come on people wake up.<br />I think we need to bombard people with the correct information and stop the ignorance.<br />Lets face it 15 yr ago Aids was a taboo subject which no-one wanted to speak about and now at least 60% of the population understand and don't judge people with aids as we now know the facts.<br />I have a friend who is bipolar and also has schizophrenia which she copes with aswell as having 5 girls aged between 18yrs old to 6yrs old She has recently also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and she take so much meds to keep everything in check she should rattle lol. But she has 5 of the greatest kids you could ever wish to met and they understand completly about mental health and for that she is thankful.<br />I think we are one of the worst countries for being judgemental towards others.<br />I think we need to get more information out to the public and make them understand and stop mental health issues being chucked ina cupboard and hidden from the rest of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
