What do you consider to be the first widespread instance of mental illness being normalized in the name of understanding and acceptance?

Vigorous religious zealotry
Note: before people freak out, while this may apply to your religion today, the first instance was almost assuredly from a religion that isn't around today

As a straight white Christian male, we all know that people of my ilk are on the wrong side of history and are potential domestic terrorists

Religious prophets.

I thought the 90’s grunge era with a bunch of miserable, dirty, loser heroin addict frontmen was a pretty massive step in making the cultural direction we’re currently in more mainstream. Maybe it wasn’t one event, but I think it was a major shift from kids wanting to be cool in some capacity to wanting to fit in by imitating a bunch of guys who were filthy, burned out, miserable anti-establishment hippies and died at 30 years old from either suicide or heroin overdose

once people begin mutilating themselves, there's a fast downhill slide of a society.

The Beginning of Normalizing Mental Illness
Started in the 70s when the Dems "destigmatized" it and closed institutions down and put mentally ill people in the streets.

When men started buying bath water and farts from online thots.

When the courts ruled that we couldn't keep them locked up in mental institutions.

Normalizing mental illness is a good thing for people to shake the stigma and ask for help. Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, OCD, etc. are illnesses no different than any physical ones.
If you’re referring to the trans/gender dysphoria and “wokeness” being forced on to people, I’d say around 2010 when the average college curriculum started getting really corrupted by leftist propaganda.

When kids started wearing helmets to ride their bikes around the neighborhood

When children began being diagnosed as add/adhd at record levels because parents and teachers thought the were too important and busy to actually figure out constructive ways to keep those kids stimulated. Instead they'd rather suppress the children's emotions and imaginations by saying " here take this pill".
So I'd guess when parents gave complete strangers unwavering trust under the guise of medicine to know better for their children than they do. We are seeing now it's hard to put that control back in the bag. Now everyone seems to think they know better for our children than we do. We continuously gave more and more power away knowing it wasn't a good idea but convenient all the while expecting those folks not to incentivize it in some way and eventually use the power to manipulate the adults. We saw it coming and still continued to give away. Textbook mental illness.
