Meds have existed for quite a while, but the acceptance of meds and mental illness has only come about recently. Like, we are talking the past 10 years being the first time people started openly talking about and accepting mental illness. Before that, it was more or less taboo, with people rarely mentioning mental illness.

As much as I hate social media, I think it's helped people be more accepting of mental illness because people started spreading awareness across various platforms like Facebook, Instagram, etc..

But to answer your first question, I'm inclined to say "no for the most part" based on what I said about acceptance.
