The importance of talking openly about mental illness

Talking openly about mental illness is crucial, especially in a society that has become more comfortable discussing mental health. The stigma surrounding mental illness still exists, and it is important to break down these barriers. By opening up the conversation, we can raise awareness and encourage individuals to seek help and support.
