I agree with Brie's

I agree with Brie's thoughts above that conflict between social stigma and one's story of oneself is applicable in many cases, not just mental health.

I think the diagram above that was alluded to in the discussion is certainly accurate, at least partially. I feel though that in the particular case of sharp/severe mood swings, that phenomenon can be internally unsettling for a person, regardless of societys view of that, and hence a problem (not the mood swings, but one's internal reaction to them).
