A Canadian survey released today shows widespread stigma persists, even among those who have been clinically depressed, according to Canwest News Service. The results indicate "a harsh, and frankly unflattering light on the attitudes we Canadians have," said Dr. Brian Day, president of the Canadian Medical Association. Day added, "mental illness is the final frontier of socially-acceptable discrimination." With a mandate for a decade-long campaign to combat stigma, Canada doubled funding for the year-old Mental Health Commission.
