Doesn't bother me a bit. Not even with the anti-psychotic drugs. I figure they really don't care, and even if they do, they've probably seen worse. And I live in the most uptight WASP-y neighborhood possible.
It did disconcert me when I realized they know me. I have an unusual spelling to my name, and I usually have to spell it out in order for them to get it right in the computer. One time one of the techs behind the counter spelled it for me to the person taking the prescription. I was surprised, but then I just thought it was funny. And an indicator of the many failed med trials I was going through at the time.
There's no shame in emotional or mental health problems. Half the people I know are probably diagnoseable. At least we realize it and are getting help.
