This week, we start a series on mental illness. Irrational as it may be, a stigma still attaches to the condition in some places - even though one in four of us suffers from mental illness in any given year. Organisations like JAMI do good work not just in removing the stigma but in offering practical help to those who are suffering. Over the course of the next three weeks, we aim to bring home the fact that mental illness is no more unusual than physical illness - and to demonstrate just how misconceived that stigma really is.
