Our countrymen, including ourselves, share numerous prejudices.
We are sexist, racist, ageist, chauvinist (an un reasonable patriotism), and classisi (by birth, wealth or education). We also share that fear, dislike and rejection of the mentally disordered, which I would like to call the prejudice of ‘psychiatrism’. Not only those who suffer are stigmatised – but so are their carers.
