> Is mental illness a crystallisation of habits we unknowingly locked ourselves into?
This has to be trolling. You have to deny even the most extreme forms of mental illness, like schizophrenia with persistent hallucinations, to be so completely obtuse in the current era as to blame mental illness on the patients.

If you plead insanity and are a danger to others, you go to an institution. This isn't an edgy thought experiment, bud. This is the sad reality of peoples' lives that you're dismissing. Fuck you with this flame bait, seriously. You aren't "just asking questions", you're an asshole.
- BLKNSLVR 2y agoI was not intending to offend or troll and my apologies for coming across to you like that. It's a sensitive topic that covers myriad issues both mild and extreme and I guess my questions were around the milder side and therefore could be taken as offensive if looking at it from the more extreme side. The article focuses heavily on autism and only mentions schizophrenia once, so my commentary was based mostly on autism. The article also mentions sociopathy / antisocial personality disorder, which feels to me fairly distant from autism, or at least the lower ends of that spectrum.
