I think it definitely is important to talk about mental health, and there most definitely is a stigma surrounding mental health, just because people have the old traditional belief that oh, mental health is just something in your head, and mental heath isn’t real, you’re just complaining too much.

And I believe that that stigma is very harmful for those that are actually diagnosed with mental health and it’s really unfair to them too, because if you have mental health, the most important thing is to talk about it, and that stigma prevents that from happening.
