This James Talarico story about him being at a Mental Health Facility

What I find even more disgusting about this story is not whether he did or did not check himself into a mental health facility. It’s the fact that, in the year 2026, people still treat someone taking care of their mental health as if it were a crime or something to be laughed at.
There is absolutely nothing shameful about asking for help.
We encourage people to take care of their physical health, yet when it comes to mental health, too many people still respond with judgment, ridicule, and stigma.
Seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It is a step toward healing, and it should never be used against someone or turned into a punchline.
It’s time we stopped making people feel ashamed for doing what they need to do to look after themselves. Mental health matters, and nobody should ever be made to feel less of a person for reaching out for help.
