Quite, as someone who has suffered with genuine, medically diagnosed depression, generalised anxiety disorder and OCD since childhood (many decades before it became "fashionable", grrrrrrr) I find it insulting when people use "the mental health card". I'm not saying he doesn't have issues, but why does he and other "celebs" feel the need to tell the world about it at every opportunity? My disorders are a part of me but they don't define me and I don't wallow in them - I just take my medication and get on with my life because, unlike this overindulged twit, I need to earn a living. The pair of them can duck off to Siberia as far as I'm concerned (apologies to any Siberians).
Good for you The problem with the “fashion” for “mental health” issues is it detracts from the real issue of clinical psychological issues which is complex and completely different from stress and anxiety from overproduction of adrenaline. That may not be a popular opinion, but they just don’t seem to have a grasp on reality and have learnt the precise mechanisms for getting their own way, which I see in use by so many millennials on their parents. It’s a guilt approach like”I’m mentally fucked up and it’s your fault”. Blame blame blame. Own your behaviour! And as for her criticising the British “stiff upper lip”. There nothing wrong with it because look at the alternative. A generation of bleeping whiners!!
