Mental health relates to the brain. Again it's a medical term, not a spiritual one, I think there's some confusion here. It's not like a "soul", mental health = brain chemistry health.

I think i am wary of genuine diagnosed issues with the brain and self-diagnosed umbrella terms that social media can latch onto and legitimise.

Some conditions, like misophonia (like I said in the other thread), have to be self-diagnosed because official diagnostic books haven’t caught up with their condition but yeah. Yeah. People who self-diagnose autism and ADHD based on nothing and no context other than this growing trend to see it as trendy to be neurodivergent take it way too far and cheapen the experience of people with genuine problems. It makes a mockery of valid self-diagnosis.

I’d wager a guess that there are more narcissists with ADHD (which can give them a certain orgasmic intensity when it comes to smear-campaign and malignant gossip) than victims of narcissistic abuse who present with ADD complexes but then I’m especially careful about not inherently over-pathologising the victims of narcissistic abuse/chronic gaslighting. A lot of people just don’t know or understand the full extent of the seriousness of ‘interpersonal toxicity’ and narcissism.
