I wanted to talk again about one of my favorite topics, stigma.  I found a really great website today called No kidding, Me too!  which talks a lot about mental health stigma, and has a goal of taking away the predjudices and biases which surround people with mental illness, or as the website calls it, BD, brain dis-ease.  I like this distinction, because mental illness has such a negative connotation, and brain dis-ease is more labeling mental illness what it is, unease in one's brain as the result of a chemical imbalance of sorts.  I would encourage you to check out this wonderful site!

Be Well
