In “The madness of history” [Viewpoint, Sept. 5], the writer uses the phrase “the societal stigma of mental illness.”
Never would I cooperate with someone's claim of “stigma,” and never would I suggest any prejudice is universal, the “societal” stigma, for example.
That this appears on your page suggests that you have internalized it. You have removed other “stigmas” from your mind and paper, please remove this one.
And if I may, a question: If someone detects a stigma, it is not the ethical stand to educate them?...
