  Oh ffs, grow up. Nobody is downplaying the effects of mental health, just asking people to be reasonable. That’s, however, anno 2025, too much to ask. Everyone exists in hyperbole and asinine takes.

  PTSD is eminently treatable and manageable. It doesn’t naturally degenerate, it sucks but you can live till you’re old. Black lung, COPD are chronic, degenerative diseases that will eventually make you gasp for air till you die while your loved ones look on without being able to do anything.

  This is beyond stupid, I don’t know when we, as a civilisation, reached a point where people can’t understand shades of grey anymore and live in absolutes only.

    Unless you kill yourself, because you know, that happens a lot in untreated mental illness

    Or even more “minor” stuff like not taking care of your own health, pushing away everyone you know and love, or even maybe want them to hate you so that they won’t get hurt when you do finally do something

    You are downplaying mental illness, whether you admit to it or not. Our brain is the core of our being, why do you not take it as seriously as the rest of our body?

      COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. That’s the entire universe of people in the world.

      I guess WHO also downplays mental health because their take is actually quite similar to my take, you know, the only responsible adult in this thread…

      I don’t know why I’m even bothering to entertain this conversation. Good day.

    You are arguing with literal children. Of course they’re going to have ridiculous, childish takes.
