Hi Jay,
Unfortunately, I think that many people still view depression and other mental illnesses in one of two ways:
1. All people with a mental illness are crazy and potentially violent. They should be avoided at all costs.
2. People with depression/mental illness have a bad attitude and just need to "snap out of it," or grow up.
Both views are very incorrect. I hope that in the future, mental illness will be taken more seriously and dealt with more compassionately.
