This is an amazing question, and I do not believe there is just one answer. I think it is important to own one's mental illness, and not be ashamed to share about their struggles with others. I think people should not be ashamed to talk about medications regarding mental health and therapy. One thing I do it I wear shirts. I have one that says, "It it okay to not be okay." One days, "Don't let your story end here ;". One says, "Introverted, but willing to discuss mental health". This small thing has brought up many conversations with strangers.
