Stigma fades as more Americans seek help for low mood
Across the United States the number treated for low mood rose from 1.7 million in 1987 to 6.3 million in 1997 signaling reduced stigma and greater access to care. Experts say rising treatment reflects greater willingness to seek help and address mental illness. Universities and schools are urged to teach coping skills to prevent violence and promote nonviolent conflict resolution alongside core literacy. The shift is contrasted with concerns about consumer credit growth and future debt as spending increases. Meanwhile calls to televise the Zacarias Moussaoui trial raise questions of fairness safety and national security in a rare courtroom broadcast.
