Living with any type of mental illness in Ireland carries an automatic stigma.
A person is shunned by society in general and treated as 'different'.
Until society sees that people with mental illness are not different, stigma will continue.

Thannnxxx Sophie... definitely has to be a shift in mindsets when dealing with people in this category... they need encouragement and a lot of love... patience.. they need to be included into society as much as possible..
