Didnt want to "jack" a fellow members thread, so I start this one.
I feel like America has this hidden secret of mental health issue, people are afraid to seek help..
We feel like we have to be strong and stoic all the time. We politically correctly stopped joking about severe issue like retardation and the like, but still, everyone laughs and giggles about the "crazy person", we all know at least one- right?
I dont know the answer, it's not about gun control and mental issues, that is a whole nother can of worms, its about our attitude of hiding mental issues, guys will ask each other at the gym "how they managed to get their hamstrings bigger" and talk to Dr's about prostates and tumors, (all serious bussiness), but it is so hard to talk about mental issues. I know.. Ive been down that road.
