Sadly there's still a lot of ignorant prejudice and discrimination against the mentally ill in today's society.
My dad suffered from bipolar disorder, and because of that he faced a lot discrimination throughout his life due to the stigma of mental illness. I myself was diagnosed with PTSD when I was a kid, but because how mental illness is portrayed in the media, people still fear it.
The funny thing is, racist discrimination has been successfully fought against, the same with sexist, homophobic, classist, colorist, elitist etc... But what about psychophobia?
