Mental illness in most societies throughout the world is still badly stigmatized and looked down upon. In some societies, even admitting to a possible mental health concern can make you ostracized from your family, coworkers, and the rest of society.
In the U.S., we’ve come a long way in the past two decades with significantly more research, and increased understanding and acceptance of mental illness. While still not as accepted as having a common medical condition like diabetes, most people view common mental illnesses such as depression or ADHD as just another one of those concerns of modern life.

I have a few questions concerning this post. One, I’m not sure the idea of myth was used correctly- Are you are saying that it is not a Myth that “Mental Illness is no Longer Stigmatized in Society” and therefor there is no stigma, or are you trying to convey the opposite? I know that this sounds like mostly semantics, but I think it’s important to understand what myths are and how they pervade our social world, and I’m worried that a basic misunderstanding of their meaning might lead you astray. I also worry that this brief post generalizes America as being accepting of Mental Illness- I believe there are degrees of acceptance, but I also know full well that there are a lot of institutionalized problems regarding our nation’s view of mental illness. You briefly mentioned that mental illness isn’t regarded as a “common medical condition”, and I think maybe you could elaborate on this and help further your piece along.
I don’t necessarily agree that mental illness is no longer stigmatized. I think society has become more understanding of some mental illnesses, like depression and anxiety, but other mental illnesses, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are still confusing for some people to understand and make sense of. Society has been more progressive with understanding and talking about mental illnesses but I believe we still have a ways to go until all mental illness is no longer stigmatized.
Like the others above have said, I do not agree with the statement that mental illness no longer carries a stigma. However, I do agree with your statement that our society has come a long way in regards to new advances in research and understanding of mental illness. From my personal experiences, most people still view mental illness as something negative and must be kept secret from others. I wouldn’t generalize too much in saying there is no more stigma around mental illness because there are plenty of stories out there to be told, but afraid to share those because of the stigma.
