Shelli - I should be the one who should apologize to you. Stigma is a sore spot for me and I guess I overreacted. I am sure James has at least one friend who isn't mentally ill :)
I am very active in trying to dispel stigma towards the mentally ill and am currently writing lectures to give to pharmacists on the topic. I gave lectures to 2 third year classes of pharmacy students and I don't really think that they cared what I had to say. So, with this seeming failure to change their opinion of "crazy people" has left me a little sensitive.
Again, I apologize for using you as a scapegoat for my anger. I hope that you will forgive me.
Sincerely, Cam
