Challenges in expressing mental health issues in certain cultures

In some cultures, previous generations did not have the vocabulary to express complex emotions and mental health issues, and the idea of being vulnerable was not an option. However, in the current generation, there is a shift as young people are starting to articulate these issues. The speaker's family, with roots in Trinidad where there is a significant Indian population, reflects this change. The shift towards openness and the articulation of mental health issues is evident in the next generation, marking a positive change from previous cultural norms.
