  "abstract": "As a society we’ve made progress in removing much of the stigma attached to both physical and mental illness. When I was a student, cancer was still a whispered word, couched in euphemisms (a lump, a mass, a shadow on the lung) or obscured by jargon (a malignancy, a neoplastic lesion). Experiences of depression or psychosis had long been sources of shame, with individuals fearing that any taint of madness would affect the life chances of their entire family. Now the “short illness” mentioned in obituaries is often named as a specific cancer, and many celebrities talk openly about their mental health.",
