Interesting article in Dublin People, makes a lot of sense and highlights how H&M turned mental health into a bandwagon for themselves, to the detriment of those with real mental health issues.
"Prince Harry and his wife, actress Meghan Markle, have been praised for their frank conversations about their mental health struggles, but to equate normal distress with mental illness is not only wrong but also morally irresponsible” says Dublin based Consultant psychiatrist Prof. Patricia Casey.
An expert in her field for decades, she believes that the much-needed de-stigmatisation of mental illness and mental health has led to the ‘pathologisation’ of common emotions like anxiety and sadness.
“The attention mental health receives in the media nowadays thanks to celebrities and others open to discussing their issues is very different from the previous reticent attitude the general public held.”
But the de-stigmatisation of mental health is a ‘double-edged sword’ that may be causing more harm than good, she says.
She explains how the new-age ‘confessional approach’ to openly discussing ‘traumas’ and ‘interpersonal problems’ may not be helpful to the sufferer at all.
Inviting strangers to comment and form opinions on your experiences on a public platform is, at the end of the day, ‘detrimental’ to one’s mental health’ as it interferes with your own processing and coping strategies."

It doesn't seem to me as though Noballs has any intention of processing or coping with any of his problems. He pretended to, tapping and gurning and sniggering on Apple, but the hatred shone through. You could see it. Healing and peace wouldn't suit him at all as he needs to keep his grievances alive and well and the angry pot boiling for his agenda. Money and revenge.
One conclusion is that he doesn't have mental health issues, but has drug and alcohol-related issues, is frustrated and humiliated by his own actions and raging because he's been shown to be dim and dominated and trapped, and a man with strange tastes.
The bottom line could well be that the mental health issues were a screen to hide behind, and that he is just a thoroughly nasty piece of work married to a very bad woman.
