While you’re right that people are quick to jump to something diagnosable rather than considering that their issues may be resolvable, this way of thinking about diagnoses is a really good way to fall into not taking actually mentally ill people seriously. I get what you’re saying, but take stuff like this on a case by case basis instead of making the blanket statement that no one actually needs a diagnosis and we’re just “avoiding life and the realities of being human”

if it only takes you needing to see yourself with a diagnosis in order to take other people with mental illness seriously, then that is a problem. a problem that needs to be addressed more than some self diagnosed clinical issue

Uhh where did I say that? I said that in general, whether you are someone who is mentally ill or not, you should be careful not to invalidate and discredit people just because you personally don’t believe that they’re truly ill

you’re saying that my way of thinking is a good way to fall into invalidating when that simply isn’t true. anybody who has a properly function brain can understand that people with disabilities are the minority in the population so no i’m not making a “blanket statement.” im referring to how social makes and how the pop psychology that’s come from it is what’s making people think everybody has somebody going on when they’re just being human. everything is some clinical thing

Yeah so you’re ignoring my point which is that factually if you refuse to believe the majority of people who say they’re mentally ill because there are so many people seeking attention right now, you will eventually at some point not believe someone who actually needs help. You’re not a doctor and you can’t tell who actually is and isn’t mentally ill, so yeah sorry but you’re veering into invalidating people’s real struggles. But I don’t think you’re going to change your mind on this so whatever

So actually in the modern world, most people do struggle with moderate depression/anxiety. Albeit some of the more niche disorders have been popularized and faked due to social media, lots of people experience anxiety severe enough that they do need therapy/meds. So it’s not really a minority, it’s not a disability either—it’s a disorder. Also a blanket statement applies to all of the people belonging to the demographic, not to everyone.
