Reply to comment by No_Implement611 in Quarter of 17-19-year-olds have probable mental disorder by Kagedeah

COVID brought a lot of it forward. But yet countries like the US still don’t see it an issue. Slowly it’s becoming destigmatized. From a male prospective we are still looked at extremely funny if we say we have mental health issues. Same with males who are abused. We should just toughen up.

The problem is that it’s one thing to remove the stigma and allow people to get the treatment they need and a whole different thing to embrace and celebrate it, which is what seems to be happening right now.

It was probably true before COVID. Mental health is something that we've only recently started taking seriously

I still to this day get looked at funny and “not as manly” when I tell people I have ADHD, I’m bipolar, my tourettes, OCD, whatever. They don’t believe me when I tell them, and its ESPECIALLY awkward when I talk about my feelings regarding my “conditions” or my feelings about life and its circumstances.

So much fucking stigma.

as long as companies are making record profits and elected officials are getting their palms greased, nothing will change.
