I agree with everything you have said. As a mother I have encouraged my son to keep his values and stand up for them even if some of his peers make fun of it.

They aren't very different from people with physical ailments and yet mental disorders are either kept hidden or people live in denial. Creating awareness and a culture of acceptance will allow people to become more aware of such conditions and seek the required help.
