Is a 'stiff-upper-lip' mentality partially to blame for today's mental health problems?well said, my thoughts exactly, too many people have actually forgotten how to just have a "chat" with friends and colleagues and feel better afterwards, they seem to prefer to have issues which to my thinking is just life in generalViewDate:
