Stigmas though are real and endanger ones future

Some things, if diagnosed, have to be disclosed over and over in the future. We had a friend a while back who was a doctor. He has a son with clear mental health issues, but they never sought treatment so that he wouldn't have to disclose it in the future and wouldn't be stereotyped.

Tough decision to make.
