The above link should take you to the lastest survey being conducted online aiming to reduce discrimination against people with any mental illness.

It can't hurt to try.
Does anyone have any examples of discrimination against them that they want to discus here?
I feel that few people among my community actually know that I have experienced mental illness. When I was young and fresh out of the 'loony bin' other young people sometimes ridiculed me just a little. Getting work has probably been the biggest hurdle because I know my limits yet still have need for a challenge, but would-be employers see it as a risk to take on someone who might not cope with stress or has no paid experience.
