To be able to talk about your experience on your mental health is something that you should feel proud about, never embarrassed or fearful of what others may think or say.
The way I see it if your suffer from any other medical condition and seek medical help people tend to wish you well, why should mental health be any different?
Why shouldn't someone who suffers from mental health not talk about it, after all were not ashamed when our bodies get sick, so why should we be ashamed when our minds aren’t in top form?

I agree it's good to talk. But he didn't talk about his experience of mental health.
The trouble with mental health it is an illness that most sufferers (myself included) can't or won't talk about it, not because they don't want to either.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with what you say but I hope you don't see me being callous in my reply to him. Just taking it at face value and that I personally see it as being odd / usual. As you know full well that I'd help in anyway I can / could.
