Someone with a sore leg or stomachache might take work off, while one may plow through it. Whether it is mental or physical, you're going to have different tolerances. I guess my point is that we always talk about the stigma of mental health, but it should still apply to physical attributes too. Like someone who uses a minor physical pain as an excuse, there are a lot of people who use "mental illness" as a scapegoat too. In an ideal world, both stigmas would be gone, but such is life (for now)...
The whole world of mental health is a quagmire, very complicated...
