Mental health care has come a long way since the dawn of recorded history.
Devastated by an era of pitiless, barbaric treatment from their community and what might feel like the world at large, people suffering from a mental health disorder experience life filled with a stigma that is as palpable as can be.
Progress Made, but the Cloud Remains.
Though statistics and the upheaval and abolishment of inhumane mental health treatment practices show true progress, this stigma remains a dark cloud that’s made its way throughout periods of devolution and evolution.
