It wasn't too long ago that mental illness were dismissed as only a condition that weak-minded people have, not a real serious condition that deserves treatment and research. Public awareness is an important part of consciousness raising.
We should laud when pieces of media actually do an ok job in helping make invisible problems salient, which is what Ted Lasso has done (to whatever extents is up to your judgment).
