I think a lot of the sentiments in this thread are well-intended but misguided.  There are some fatal, fundamental flaws in the way we've come to process mental health.  It's not cancer, or heart disease, or diabetes.  Those comparisons help unveil a crucial empathy that often overcomes these fallacies indirectly, but in the long-run it does nothing to address either the origin or solution.

Mental illness needs to be standardized in a way that is accessible to everybody and not just a select group of wealthy white people.  By comparing it to cancer you inadvertently de-normalize something that, in actuality, is the one thing [I]that can be normalized.

Trust me.  I was practically born into a counseling office.  You can take this over any of my basketball opinions.  There is a [I]major [/I]hole in the system that is causing this.  Don't let progress in other areas - as we've seen from this thread - distort the truth that is dancing before our eyes.
