FYI, you seem to be new here and seem not to be far-left. For your future enjoyment of lemmy, note that Lemmy.ML is a communist instance and therefore you may not like some of the content there.

That’s not how these collegues treat them.

They act like you can basically “think yourself out of” most mental illnesses.

unpopular opinion is not the same thing as academic literature lol makes sense.

Though I found the points to be well thought it (if not clearly written in a rush).

Also to be fair given the post, they could likely be a med student or something. Most people aren’t aware of the specific biological factors they listed nor some of the conditions, as OP used some medical terminology not often seen used by layman.

Yeah thats how it sounds to me 😂

Its patient blaming all the way in my (non-official) opinion

That’s only in some schools of thought of psychology.

There are plenty of praticing psychologists and psychiatrists (some of my colleagues) who genuinely believe and publish research along the lines of “all mental illness are caused by thoughts and behaviours”. Research that in my opinion is heavily flawed, but still published and peer reviewed, so a lot of people in the field think this way.

As a neurologist (specialising in post-viral illness) I don’t have the expertise to comment on points 2 and 3 of your post, but point one is completely correct.
