Society has a tendency to view mental health issues differently from medical ones.
When someone breaks a leg, has chest pains or needs to get a prescription, that person will see a doctor. However, when people experience depression, excessive fears or a problem with alcohol, they may be embarrassed to seek help. To recognize a problem and receive psychological help is not a sign of weakness at all. Rather, to do so is a sign of strength. No information will be released to anyone without your permission.
