It definitely should be taught in school from an early age. Both physical and mental health are important, so I feel as long as you're old enough to learn about one you can learn about the other. Not just feeding kids basic info either, but giving them other important info like what it might feel like by using some metaphors or telling them what tools they have if they or someone they know might be going through something.
This world could do with a lot more empathy.
