[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have nothing against women (or men) who are open about anxiety and depression. I just don’t like the modern tendency to make themselves into the victims of every situation and of society, in general.

I this this trend really got going with social media, and now it’s infiltrated traditional media. [/quote]

Yes, totally agree. Every few days, my FB feed comes up with a post about someone who talks about taking medication and seeing a shrink. If I were having such mental health problems, I wouldn't broadcast it. I also think there has to be so many unscrupulous docs who pathologize someone's anxiety into GAD, or someone's feelings of sadness into clinical depression. [/quote]

People talk about it in order to reduce the stigma. Less stigma means more people will get treated which saves lives as well as improving the quality of life for patients and their loved ones. My mom’s undiagnosed anxiety has caused suffering for three generations of people.[/quote]
