True. I think that mental diseases should be treated in the same way physical diseases are, therapy is seen as embarrassing and this really shouldn't be the case. I've been affected personally by this phenomena. My father refuses to allow my brother (who has been diagnosed with asperger's syndrome) to see a psychologist ever. Not even every once in a while. He still insists my brother is normal which is just infuriating to me. I just hope that others will not see it this way and allow treatments for mental illnesses such as this.
