Do you face stigma (or discrimination) in your family due to a mental illness that you have or that someone you love has? (lemmy.world)

And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?

I went to therapy because it felt like my life was crumbling and I felt hopeless. After a year of therapy my therapist told me to get assessed for ADHD and after a several month wait, I was formally diagnosed with primarily inattentive ADHD. I was reasonably intelligent as a kid (which helped mask it) and wasn't hyperactive or disruptive so no one really cared to assess me for it.
