Summary
Details

"" STIGMA'S SHADOW"" Stories of the Rich and Famous"" is a 376-page non-fiction book about the many forms of mental illness. For centuries and generations, individuals living with mental health challenges have carried the label that comes with their illness. The stigma of mental illness often casts a shadow that can be more isolating than the condition itself, distorting public perception and discouraging people from seeking help. But that shadow is lifted when famous people - artists, athletes, actors, musicians, and leaders across every corner of public life begin to share their own struggle with mood and mental disorder. Their stories help people see that mental illness is something that can be understood, treated, and lived with. They show that mental illness does not discriminate-it can affect anyone, regardless of status, success, or background. It is refreshing to learn about famous people who are also vulnerable, have struggled like the rest of us, and still were able to accomplish much and achieve greatness in spite of their illness. Some have shaped the very world that we live in. They have shared their struggles while reshaping mental health law and clarifying misconceptions about mental illness. When celebrities go public, they help reduce and erase the stigma that all too often has been attached to our condition. Every time someone speaks up, seeks help, or refuses to hide, the stigma's shadow loses its power. The stories related here remind us that mental illness can happen to anyone - celebrities and commoners alike. We are not alone.
