the stigma of mental health

For too long mental health has carried a stigma.  If someone struggles with mental health, they are often blamed for the condition, seen as a threat, or belittled and seen as unable to function.  It seems strange that mental health should carry a stigma when physical health does not.  Is it because mental health is often something unseen? If someone hopped into their workplace on crutches and discussed their broken leg, I doubt they would experience the same sort of stigma as someone who discussed their experiences of depression

Have a look at this video produced by Bergen County Department of Health Services.  It is wonderful that they are so supportive of mental health
