What is more acceptable is for people to publically talk about their issues. Almost everyone at some point in life goes though a mental challenge period; and for at least a short term are technically mentally ill (Been there, done that).
The vast majority of people do pull out of that and can live a life without any mental issues - if they get appropriate assistance when they have an issue.
The reasons Dr's pay so much attention is that a short period of appropriate treatment prevents a life of constant problems.
Now there is a smaller group where their mental issue last their entire life. Most of these can function in society with adequate treatment (which may include monitoring).
Yes, there are always the self centered ones who make a play at being mentally ill (or being worse than they are) just to get attention. Those have always existed and will always exist.
But, the biggest reason you see people talking about mental illness is that now they can without any major social stigma - or loosing their job.
IIN not being normal or mentally well is trendy now
