Trudeau, more than anyone, should  be sympathetic to mental illness and how it can affect behaviour.

His mother suffered from it and his wife is a spokesperson. In fact, she said:

"We work hard every day to try to reduce and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. In order to recover, we must be willing to find and accept help. We can have conversations with our family and friends, even when it is difficult to do so.

Some of you may not have families who are available or open to conversations about mental health, but that does not mean you are alone. You have friends, school counselors, community resources. Support is available, and with it, so is your strength.

You are all so strong, and so resilient.

I walk on this path with you, and offer you my unconditional support. Let us always be courageous together.

With love,

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau"

In Quebec, it is difficult to see a psychiatrist and impossible to see a psychologist in the public system.
