Question

Why do you think that there still persists so much stigma correlated with living with a mental health issue?  And yet at the same time..... there are so many people who still use the terms of very serious mental health issues (such as OCD and Bipolar) in a casual manner without truly undertsnading that these disorders cause impairments in one or more areas of the persons life?
