Mental illness is a very stigmatized thing in our country. Its something that people cannot talk about openly and isn't treated the same way as other illnesses. A vast majority of Americans do not understand the issues that someone with bipolar disorder or even depression can face. There needs to be a governmental education campaign to raise awareness about these conditions and an effort to improve the systems we have. By doing this, we can help bring fellow Americans who suffer from these illnesses and get them the help they deserve. We can give our fellow Americans the respect they deserve as humans who have to deal with terrible illnesses.
