Sometimes, we hear a word so often that it graduates into something of a "buzzword", and the power of that word is lost. The word "stigma" is literally defined as "a mark of disgrace". It is the precursor to discrimination. It is one of the most pervasive barriers between suffering and acceptance, and in this episode, I share my personal experiences dealing with mental health stigmas to give the word "stigma" it's power and gravitas back. There is great power in words...and this word holds the power to make - or break - the mental health conversation.
