>I had 3 different doctors tell me I was crazy before I said fuck this But what do you think mental illness is, if not an autoimmune disorder? I try not to think about it, but when I was diagnosed 15 years ago, I had a reaction to a psychotropic drug and the pharmacist said "oh yeah, that's an antihistamine, so don't take more OTC antihistamines to try to deal with the reaction". And I switched to something that wasn't so bad, and never thought much more about it for a long time. Then after a decade and a half, for various reasons, but particularly to check for celiac, I finally went to an allergist to be tested for common allergies, who said "oh yeah, your medication is an antihistamine, so you'll have to stop taking it for a few days in order to be tested". Which I decided I really can't. I feel like nobody says it most of the time, or acts on it, and many don't have any idea, but it is widely known at the same time. Which is eerie.
