Thank you for writing this. I have believed this for some time and have been told that I'm minimizing real problems. I do think that some people need to seek professional help but, currently everyone you meet has some diagnosis which prevents them from functioning in the real world. We all have ups and downs and unique characteristics which should make us interesting individuals, not individuals with deficits that need medicating. A certain percentage of people will willingly grab on to that diagnosis or label and sadly never reach their full potential. Why do we want to be sick? I don't get it!
