    not from the US, but in my country all the talk about 'raising awareness' and 'destigmatizing' mental illness has also been followed by a systematic dismantling of public mental health care treatment services

      Oh yeah, Google thinks I'm Br*tish because I love watching their country burn, and whenever I searched about mental health it gave me liberal idealist nonsense from the Mind Group that wants to privatise the NHS. Lovely bunch.
