I can think of a few reasons why people would hide their distress, (apart from being so troubled they can only see one way out), maybe because of the stigma and maybe they misunderstand what mental illness is, its not the way we used to view it... as something you "got" and cant recover from or something that makes you different from others, apart from obvious things like hearing voices the experiences people with mental health problems have dont differ from experiences everyone else has from time to time, theyre just exagerrated and more extreme. I like to think of Sane-Insane as being on a line and all of us are on that line somewhere and most of us a times in our life probably fall in to what is considered abnormal but wouldnt even consider that we have mental health problems. Anyway point is anyone in mental distress can recover if they want to and are honest about how theyre feeling, if not theyre really only hurting themselves... and their loved ones
