I'm confused. Yes, I understand that there are people out there who stereotype and most know that it is wrong. But.... I'm wondering how the stigma attached to addiction is any different than that which is attached to any other mental illness?
I'll pose the rhetorical question; how often do we hear that people with serious mental issues are called "nuts" "psycho" "crazy" "******" or any other insulting, demoralizing, pejorative term?
