\u201cI would like to think that there is less stigma attached to depression and other mental health issues today, but perhaps that\u2019s not true.\u201d \u2014 Suzanne Anderson, Walking Our Faith<\/p>\n

Go ahead, think it, editors. There are fewer of us allowing those with that prejudice to direct us.<\/p>\n

There was a time when we would willingly accept that prejudice. We were so redundantly taught to accept it. We are no longer that willing.<\/p>\n

We have taught one another sufficiently to realize that to help we have to educate and inform, and we are doing so. There are several fronts on which that is occurring, including the visual media. Movies and TV, along with their stars, are providing us with accurate, open and honest information.<\/p>\n
