Canadian attitudes toward mental illness are a cause for concern, the Canadian Medical Association said Monday in releasing its annual report card on health care.
The group's eighth annual report surveyed Canadians to measure attitudes and experiences with the health-care system.

"In some ways, mental illness is the final frontier of socially-acceptable discrimination."
