I don’t think it’s fair to generalise, some people are more open about mental health issues than others, that would depend on a lot of things, personal experiences, education, social conditioning. Some people are still afraid to discuss, for the same reasons. Others will discuss some mental health issues more easily than others, for example depression or anxiety, but less comfortable with more complex issues like psychosis for example.
How we see the world tends to be based on what we’ve personally experienced.
Willowtigger Im sorry you’ve experienced stigma. I hope coming here has given you freedom to discuss and be heard.
