It’s not surprising. People seek identities to confirm who they are, find companionship and community, and attach themselves to something bigger than one can figure out for one’s self. We see it in people who are “healthy” as an identity, now in “nerds”… so for mental issues it makes you feel bigger than just yourself. I think less-clear identities are part of the big culture war struggle in the US… the inability to handle a plurality.
