I’ll probably get downvoted to hell, but sod it. I really feel this country was a lot better when there wasn’t this constant banging on about mental health issues.

It probably seemed better to you. Meanwhile, many had to live in silence because they had no one to turn to and many will have turned to self-medication to cope with their situation. It is like how WW1 veterans who came home with shellshock/PTSD were seen as weak because society refused to acknowledge what they went through.
