I cannot agree more. I went a bit mental last year, debilitating anxiety, and did a course on how to manage it. At the same time my eldest kid was starting Big School and suffering exactly the same thing, so I spent my time teaching him the things I was learning.
They're much better in schools (at least in the UK) now with mental health, he had daily check ins with the mental health first aider or some such, which I really appreciated because there was fuck all like that in my day, when men were men and everyone had Polio (I jest)
