To makesher,

I’m in the health field, but not mental health. As far as stigma goes, this is the reason I said school psychologists. Everybody in the yeshiva has to go for an evaluation. Afterwards, people who need therapy and/or meds can receive these without anybody knowing (discreetly). There would be no stigma since everybody would have to go. Also, if the yeshivos would do this, it would greatly diminish the stigma in the community. In our generation, unfortunately we’ve seen some Rosh Yeshivos saying don’t do this and that (eg. going to concerts), but they have to also fix up their own yeshivos not just find problems in the community.
