I'll go out on a limb and say that the internet culture has contributed to mental health awareness too.

Dr. John Gray wrote in his book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus', that men sort out their thoughts internally while women verbalize and by hearing themselves make sense in their own minds.

Great book that changed all my relationships for the better.
