4/21/09. Now is the best time in human history to seek treatment for psychiatric disorders. Why? Because treatments work.
Yet, there is still much stigma surrounding the mentally ill.
Psychiatrist Sally Satel says that antistigma campaigns are well-meaning but not enough to change people's attitudes.
What's needed, she says, are psychiatric treatments that work which reinforces encouraging people to seek those treatments --- "nothing destigmatizes likes success."
