Could you have a Mental Disorder and not know?
It's kind of interesting. Could you have one and not even know it? And the scary thing about mental disorder, most people are going to think they're fine even if they have the disorder. You got some paranoid schizophrenics out there. And until they got the treatment in their head, it was normal because that's their head. It's their thoughts. That's their perspective. They thought that every day
Definitely. I mean, I can speak from experience. I had a friend who was telling me for more than a decade that she thought I had depression, and I was like, no, I don't. I mean, I had been suicidal at times in my life, but I really didn't think I had a mental disorder for some reason or another. I felt shame of the mere idea of it

I think 25% of us are reasonably suffering from situational depression right now, for sure. If you look at the book that is used to diagnose people, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual they're on their fifth version. So that's a hint that the way we diagnose people is indicative of society at the time and narcissism, sociopathy, even depression. All those things occur in such a continuum that it's probably accurate the 25% number you're hearing

I think it's helpful to identify that one out of four people is struggling for whatever reason. If it's mental, emotional, neurological, whatever the roots or the exhibition. I guess the way it presents in different people, different styles of mental illness can lead to different outcomes. Like if you're schizophrenic or hallucinating, it's different than if you're. That's my thing. I feel as though mental illness is like a weird way to describe a depression

Seeking plum. Thank you very much for responding to this swell. And Whoa. I didn't actually know that about you. So that's very cool. And maybe you have talked about this at length before, but I guess it seems vaguely familiar, but that was probably a long time ago. So, yes, the stigma is attached with one. Who could you have a mental disorder?

Lynden Mer. Hopefully I'm saying that correct. Thank you very much for responding to the Swell. And yeah, I think it's yeah, that 25% saying like you said, the DSM five. So I guess it is kind of always this recalibration and figuring out exactly what they before. They had terms that have been altered and changed. Now some symptoms and conditions were lumped together in this field, and now they're kind of recalibrating and saying it's in this field

So it's very cool that both of you were able to in your own way, kind of deal with it. And yes, stigma is attached extremely to that very mental disorder right there. That particular mental illness. And I hear so many people say, oh, you just need to be happy, man. You need to appreciate life and do it and they don't get it. They will never understand

And now it's not a conversation. It's me leaving a message. Just saying thank you for this. Well, and look forward to hearing from you in the future. And it's so weird. I have to wrap it up with I want, like, a sign off or something like, this is Brooke on the West Coast signing off, and that would be really dorky. And corny. In any case, I'll have to check out your podcast. That reminds me

And you do have to contact kind of program your mind where you're talking at. Sometimes I just forget and I'm talking in one place and it's for other places but yeah it all makes sense in time
