I don't know how old you are but back in "my day" it was a stigma to need help. I remember in the 1970's a neighbor sought help after he was deployed away from him family (he was air force). His wife would come talk to my mother who was an RN. My mother would talk about him seeking help with distaste (not to the wife but to us). When I went to a counselor during college she was so upset. and demanded to know what was wrong with me. It was the time and it was ignorance.
