Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: disclosure of mental illness

Important, questionable multi dimensional topic. Are we discussing the
experiences of mental illness or psychiatric disability?

Hypothesising here that the discussion would be driven by those members who
are part of the dominant norm, ie. those 4 out of 5 members of the
population who do not have a mental illness. I wonder what would this
discussion would be like for a person who has a mental illness and is not
comfortable discussing this due to past experiences of stigma?

Does the cohousing context mean that the discussion is considered
"need-to-know", as it affects what happens in the common house?

curious,

Hans
