[quote="ardentauthor"]If you are depressed, do you act cheerful in public, no matter how hard it is? If you are very anxious, do you try to appear calm? I think people should try to hide their problems from the public eye, and usually from friends. If they can't understand (which most can't), displaying your disorders will only lead to discrimination.[/quote]
