I was looking through and saw this hasn’t been posted yet. It’s an important issue with a lot of baggage that gets stigmatized a lot. From depression to schizophrenia and beyond it’s something that affects many. It’s important to realize there is always help out there if you need it and you never have to suffer alone 
Quoting someone in the thread who gave a better well thought reply to this than I could ever do justice with this thread :

I wasn’t aware. Kinda funny I had one of my first episodes during this month. Well, good mention OP. I’m actually excited for the social contract stuff. I struggle immensely with the stuff that goes on unanswered in this game. I’ve taken my own measures to avoid it.
Looking forward to trying WotLK here, soon. Hopefully I can build up a fortress in my mind that will survive the onslaught from the degenerate masses in that version of the game. Or maybe the contract stuff will be in full effect by then, so at least we know they are trying to take a stand, even if it’s only a totem that states they are.
People act like, if you can’t handle a game, it’s on you. Well, I think more people should be aware, and considerate of others and how they feel. I don’t feel that’s too big of an ask. Mental illness should not exclude someone from an enjoyable activity, that is largely made unenjoyable by it’s playerbase alone.
Understandably, there’s only so much that can be done, when you’re asking everyone to take care. It’s naive to expect that will happen. I do however strive for it, and endorse it, because we all deserve respect. Well, those of us striving to be respectful. That’s another thing of mine; knowing some battles must be left alone.

Why did Blizzard have to announce this mobile loot-box game during mental health awareness month…

It’s just a friendly PSA. Mental health is a universal thing as well, I guarantee there are many WoW players that deal with mental health on a daily basis

Blizzard should have an in game event for this month. Maybe you get a toy that simulates what it’s like to be schizophrenic?

Eh I think that’d be a bit disrespectful. Sure there’s simulations out there that can help people understand some disorders a little more. But those are made by professionals. Blizz ain’t mental health pros. ( Proof of that is just how easily npcs get over stuff that should be traumatic as all heck and have lasting effects )
To me it would come off like those people on Tik Tok that fake disorders for attention.
Like I’m imagining a toy version of my Borderline Personality Disorder and that just makes me so uncomfortable. The toy has a cool down. I don’t. Sure there’s some perks to BPD but it really messed me up until my shrink mentally whupped some of the toxic parts out of me

Maybe because we are a bit crazy to still be playing this game after all these years?
I for one have accepted the fact that I am insane.
