I was reading one thing on-line, well, actually looking up a couple things, to compare and contrast slight cultural difference in expression, but anyways, led me right back to PC, to an article, by DocJohn, which, then, in turn led me to this article, which, if it's such a sin and so morally 'wrong', then why...
""This is the latest umbrella term for the kind of emotional collapses that have plagued humanity for ages, stemming at times from severe mental difficulties and more often from mild ones. There have been plenty of others. In the early decades of the 20th century, many people simply referred to a crackup, including “The Crack-Up,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1936 collection of essays describing his own. And before that there was neurasthenia, a widely diagnosed and undefined nerve affliction causing just about any symptom people cared to add.""

Then, at the mere mention of melancholia, in this article, as being an antiquated expression, for all this. I remembered, in the Memoirs of Catherine the Great, she describes blood-letting for her nerves and 'melancholia'.
She's not the only, world leader, you know?!
Soooooo....I really, need to ask...who are you most afraid of finding out that you see counselors???? hmmmmm???????????
