In Iceland up until the last 10 years there was a lot of social stigma towards depression and other mental health issues. Most common attitude was that these people were just lazy and people who made excuses to be like this, not that there was anything actually wrong with them.

Thanks to two brave people showing their daily lives on a major news show in the last 10 years that attitude has changed quite dramatically, even within my own family I had a couple of siblings who had pretty ignorant attitudes have come around.

Any media coverage that promotes any kind of understanding and awareness helps, if nothing its nice to see people talking about it because I for the longest time avoided seeking help because I was so stubborn and refused to admit it to myself and let alone allow others to see me as "weak."

Since finally seeking help, my life has done a 180, and I just wish I had started sooner.
