I'm pretty open about it; I've told many people, even wrote a Facebook status about going to a psychiatric hospital, but I think the reality of it has only hit a very small amount of people in my life.
I did write that I have CPTSD on an application form that asked about my health for an acting gig, and then began to question whether or not this was the reason I was rejected (I gave an excellent audition).
I have a feeling saying the words isn't stigmatised as much as showing the symptoms, but I may be wrong. It's also quite normal for people to speak openly about their psychopathology in some art circles.
