Motivational Monday: do you talk about your mental health with others?

One of my greatest goals in life is to change the way we think about and talk about mental health. We're getting better, but it's still very much hidden and stigmatized.

If we talked about mental health in the same way that we talked about cancer or diabetes, it would be a lot easier for people to seek help. Talking about mental illnesses also helps us understand them better and have more empathy for what others are going through.

Some people are only comfortable talking about their mental health with a doctor or a therapist. Others can talk to their friends or family, or a teacher or mentor. Unfortunately, many people are afraid to talk about it at all.

Who do you talk to about your mental health? Do you think that we should talk about it more?
