What I think would be awesome is if mental health was de-stigmatized. Like physical health is.

I feel like back in the day - our grandparents, or their grandparents, perhaps you'd see men who didn't want to go to the doctor.

Now it is completely normal and expected to get a yearly physical. IMHO we all should be getting a yearly "mental", as well (with a psychologist, not a psychiatrist), and it should be both normal and expected.

Back in the day a doctor might make you less healthy, not more, especially in the era before they knew to sterilize surgical tools.

You obviously aren't concerned that the "professional brain jargon talking person" will make things worse. I know from experience they sometimes do.

I don't trust mental health professionals nearly as much as you do.
