The taboo is less: than it was in the past. Thanks in part to app like healthtap where people can ask questions about all kinds of medical and psychological issues. Feel free to ask any questions you may have felt self conscious about before and find out more about mental health and illness.

A member asked:
Hi, I have been working from home since March 30th. With warm weather I have been able to be outside, working in the yard, walking, talking with neighbors. But, with the cold weather coming, I work about my mental health with not being able to be outside. I live alone, with my little dog, but alas, no conversation. Any suggestions on how to keep from going crazy? Working From Home?
