Increased focus on men­tal health aware­ness and des­tigma­ti­za­tion: There’s a grow­ing move­ment to open­ly dis­cuss men­tal health chal­lenges and nor­mal­ize seek­ing help. Celebri­ties, influ­encers, and every­day peo­ple are shar­ing their sto­ries, help­ing to break down the stig­ma sur­round­ing men­tal ill­ness. This is lead­ing to increased pub­lic under­stand­ing and empa­thy, and hope­ful­ly, more peo­ple feel­ing com­fort­able seek­ing help when they need it.
