For sure it's more common than people think. I think it's good to de-stigmatize both mental health and addiction. IMO shame gets in the way of people asking for help.

Fear, blame and shame do a lot of harm.

Amplify the good. People sometimes need help. Can be any of us.

Best to just get them that help, in my view.
