Aye, that second part is often overlooked, especially generationally. When I was in highschool (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), no one talked about trauma, or depression, or mental health. Literally no one. Today, every parent I know is friends with someone whose child "took a year off and went to school in Utah" and we all know what they're saying.
And even those parents ... so few recall Holden being in a residential program, journalling as part of his treatment, his depression from untreated trauma over his beloved brother's death, his sexual assault experience... Egads we were taught badly.
