But Dan, that's the problem. It appears that here at least, there is a problem whereby U.S. law actively discriminates against those who have had a mental illness. If the law discriminates against you, then it might be sometimes better not to get help.

Here the problem is not with her seeking treatment for her mental illness.
The problem is with someone giving her confidential medical records to the US, and with the US having a sub-optimal entry system for people with MH histories.
I fully respect the decisions the people make about their own lives. But I strongly feel that we don't fight stigma by not confronting the organisations that perpetuate that stigma.
