I think many Brits do have a 'put up and shut up' view on life and problems haha... and yes many do not get the American acceptance and openness to therapy.

My own family however are supportive and have encouraged me to get the help I need. I know my Mum frowned a little when I was prescribed meds... but she knows I've been dealing with this for years now and for a change she didn't rebuke it.
