I've studied spirituality for about a decade, and I've noticed many "mental disorders" are dysregulated people. Whether that's through their energy field, their organs and neurons acting differently, or what have you, but the mental field and spiritual field need to get their heads in gear if we're going to help humans understand each other and themselves.
Years ago, a previous friend of mine introduced me to ADHD, a condition she thought she had. To understand my friend better, I studied ADHD and the comorbid systems of it. I learned her systems and behaviors matched the other bulleted symptoms of other disorders. Long story short, I strongly believe she was using the diagnosis to explain behaviors and characteristics she still didn't understand. What didn't help was her personal doctor gave her a diagnosis after taking a 30 min - 1 hr quiz. From my understanding, a diagnosis takes years to officiate, so I knew something was up from the start.
I'm definitely not saying mental health doesn't exist, but I strongly think people are linking themselves to the first definition they see and rolling with it while forcing others to roll with the punches with them. I'm not that type of woman.
