About stigma--you could explore why it is that a lawyer standing for the bar cannot admit to having been treated for depression.
On a more clinical note--here is an interesting question: Personality Disorder or Unrecognized Mood Disorder?
On a more feminist note: how the mental health field has overlooked women in conducting its research-- how the diagnostic norms based on this research are skewed to represent how disorders affect men, and how women's needs have been mishandled because of trying to fit women's problems into the paradigms from research on men.
Here is another one: do people with a history of mental illness have the same credibility with doctors when complaining of any kind of health symptoms?
And, of course there is the issue of eroding confidentiality in health care.
