It could also suggest that mental disorders are a societal construction (a product of living in society) ... but there is also a push to do away with disorders anyway. For example, ADHD was adaptative in hunter/gather societies. But it is clearly maladaptive now for school kids (and some workers) so we medicate it. The bigger problem is a lack of awareness of our emotional states and managing them. This leads to all sorts of major sociological problems.
