Harold Maio is writing in response to last week’s article, “Mindfulness Retreat seeks to improve health and self-care on campus.”
In response to: “Is the stigma decreasing?”
You are asking the wrong question: “Are fewer people voicing that prejudice, rotely repeating it” is a more apt question, and yes, far fewer people are doing so, we having educated ourselves to no longer participate in that prejudice.
People who want to help do not say there is a stigma to mental illnesses. Those are words for people who do not want to help.
Sincerely,
Harold A. Maio, retired mental health editor
