    Out of curiosity, how are “anxiety issues” not a mental health issue? Depression, anxiety, etc. are all mental health issues and there’s absolutely no stigma that should be attached to that.

      Clinical mental illness has specific definitions. Feeling anxious sometimes doesn’t meet them. Everyone feels anxious sometimes. No one was “attaching a stigma” to anything here.

        The article and my comments have all been focused on “mental health problems”. No one mentioned “mental illness” but you. Those are different things and if you can’t understand that, not sure there’s anything else to be gained in additional discussion.
