That's very true unfortunately, especially in men. Sometimes people will just open up, whereas others will be more reserved and won't talk about things straightaway, if at all.
Even though that's annoying, it is a statement lots of people say. I know when I was doing my project back in February on depression, a statistic came up that in Wales and England, Mental Health Discrimination is the second most discriminated against condition, with HIV/AIDS being first.
