I think there is some progress on that front. I used to work in oil, and now work in tech. Things skew notably more progressive on all fronts, and one thing I've noticed is that I've had a boss and several employees now talk openly about their mental health therapy, just as if they were going to the dentist as you mention. It's really nice to have that in the open, because when things are going poorly at work, the door is open to ask how they are doing mentally and get genuine answers, which is often a huge part of working through the work issues they are having and enables a more empathetic approach for everyone.
