Maybe in theory, but that's not dominant. Being able to fit into society's rules, even if you disagree or don't understand their purpose, is itself a major component of mental wellness. Adaptability is one of the most core aspects of being human.
In my experience, the vast vast majority of mental-illness-acceptance movements are blatantly of the form "it's only natural for my dog to poop anywhere on the lawn, why should I have to pick it up?"
And to follow up this analogy - I don't mandate any particular treatment plan, there are at least 3:
* pick up your dog's poop
* own a dog, but keep it on your own property
* don't own a dog
- svnt 2y agoThis kind of conformist thinking leads to bad outcomes.
