I haven't read the article yet, but I know when I was in that it was very looked down upon to seek mental health for anything but the worst situations. There was the possible threat of losing your security clearance, especially if you ended up on medicine. So, you sucked it up and said you were okay, long before you probably should have for actual healing.

The stigma is even greater in the military than it is in civilian life. And this is particularly the case with Marines.
