I was reading up on some mental health blogs and came across this post that discusses the stigma associated with mental health on the professional level. She talks about how even doctors can suffer from "mental health stigma" and her experiences dealing with that along her journey.
I can relate with her a bit. When I first went to talk to a doctor, it did not go well and he made me feel ashamed and even like I was lying. It turned me away from seeking any other kind of professional help for at least a year.
I think this is a good example of how much more work we can do to try and decrease that stigma.
