IF Lewis uses this notoriety for good and helps people that is a great thing - mental health needs talking about and if people feel they can open up to a person from a TV show then that is great. I still say C5 had very little choice to remove him...anti-semitism has been highlighted a lot recently and is a massively emotive subject, far more than in the Barrymore days and so to protect the brand they really had no option to remove him now.

Yes. Mental health is still very much a taboo subject. People feel like they can't talk about it, for fear of being judged. Those who have been there understand and don't judge.
I've been there myself, but no one knows, not even my closest family and friends. They wouldn't understand.
