Mental health is very important for everyone. However, many people still feel ashamed or scared to talk about it. This feeling is called stigma. Recently, many famous people have shared their battles with mental health. They want to help others understand that it is okay to seek help. For example, singers and actors now speak about their experiences with anxiety and depression. They show us that mental health problems can happen to anyone. Talking about mental health helps to reduce stigma. Schools are also teaching students about mental health. This education is vital for young people. It helps them support friends who may be struggling. We need to create a more supportive world where everyone feels safe to talk about their feelings. When we tell our stories, we can help reduce the stigma and make it easier for others to ask for help.
