Americans have so many misconceptions about mental health. I sincerely hope Yadira Caraveo does not suffer a fate similar to Senator Tom Eagleton. Older members of the DownBallot community will remember that he was George McGovern’s vice presidential nominee – until his struggles with depression emerged.
I wish the former, and hopefully future, Congresswoman the very best of luck with her campaign!
Unfortunately being open about it doesn't mean the electorate is going to understand. I'm very open about being on the Autism Spectrum. That being said, I'm under no illusion that the majority of the electorate - even in blue areas - is going to understand that anytime soon. And that's a major reason why I've never considered running for public office.
Dunno about hopefully future Congresswoman. Wasn't it you who mentioned her vote to condemn Harris on immigration yesterday? Another candidate might be better. But otherwise, of course I absolutely wish her well!

Eagleton failed to be forthcoming about it. She is being open.
True, and hopefully that will make a decisive difference.
We still have a long way to go, but our society is also more understanding about mental health issues now than it was in 1972.
It could if voters are convinced that she's OK and very likely to remain OK.

Not me. I didn’t even know about that vote.
