Deidra Burke, youth and young adult program manager for the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Washington, said stigma around mental health issues is the biggest barrier to getting help...

There are a great many of us taught and teaching there is a stigma to mental health issues. Neither Ms Burke nor NAMI are alone. For many it is a rubric to hold to.

The harm we do in accepting/promulgating that lesson is regularly documented. That does not seem to deter us.
