    I’d say unless you know someone living with this or with mental illness, it’s easy to judge it or say “just get over it”.

    Pretty sure I’d be traumatised if I witnessed this.

    judgement by headline
    not knowing this mans past history,
    what he witnessed could (?) have tipped him over

    imagine what our front line workers deal with every day. - police, nurses, paramedics,

    i have family in the police force and the ADF.
    not everyone can cope with trauma, you need to be a special breed to deal with it, and even then, it can sneak up on the toughest.

    My Aunty was in a bank when it was robbed. It took many years for her to recover. She did have a gun pointed in her face, so it was very confronting. I could understand why she was traumatised. I'm not sure I've ever seen a gun drawn, let alone witnessed a violent crime.

    Good on the younger generation for being real about mental illness. Many older australians suffer in silence.

    Times are changing on this topic at least.
