I think you're absolutely right that there should be much more open information about mental health issues, and that health promotion in the mental health area can only be a good thing. For example, you see commercials on television asking you if you would recognize the symptoms of a stroke or of diabetes. There shouldn't be any big secret about what the symptoms of mental health disorders are, so that they can become de-stigmatized. People could be better able to recognize them, better able to support their colleagues and peers, and better able to direct individuals to appropriate professional care.
