The big benefit to my plan there is to identify those with mental issues and allow them get some help.
You hear it all the time that a person that commits suicide was the happiest person, you'd never suspect a thing was wrong, we're just in shock. Well obviously they didn't feel comfortable enough sharing their feelings and what was bothering them. Putting on the happy face often is a coping mechanism done to not raise alarm or risk being ostracized.
Too often family will ignore an issue or brush warning signs aside, then Boom.

Shame is the word.
People are ashamed to admit they need help or are struggling. Men are especially susceptible given the expectations often placed on us.
That's why I go out of my way sometimes to talk about my experiences with depression and with therapy and personal growth. If me telling one person IRL about my experiences, without shame, inspires that person to reach out for help, then I've helped.
People who stigmatize mental health problems make me crazy.
