Stigma

Jackson, Stanley, (film director.). Daly, Tom, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: This film tells the story of a young woman who suffers a mental breakdown, recovers fully in a mental hospital and returns home. Instead of the understanding and support she most needs from her friends and associates, she is virtually ostracized. The film makes a plea for a change in the sort of public thinking that places a stigma upon people who have suffered from an illness of the mind rather than of the body.
