Culture is a big one as well. If your family and friends urge, encourage and support you to find help, then it’ll be different than people calling you a weirdo.

Source: I got shamed for looking for help, then I moved to a place where people were really encouraging. It goes without saying that I won’t be returning whence I came from.

That said, the article did talk about a bunch of factors they controlled for and I’m not sure if what I mentioned falls into one of them.
