SPOT ON, it’s not a “mental health epidemic”, people are having normal difficult feelings!!! Difficult feelings are not a health condition!https://twitter.com/RandyNesse/status/1263176750684499969 …

I think what people are misunderstanding is that I’m not saying there isn’t a crisis or that people are at large feeling extremely troubled right now. I just don’t think these emotional states are illnesses, as the terminology “mental health epidemic” implies
An emotional state is part of a mental health crisis when functioning ceases. So for instance when a caregiver won’t let her kids outside bc she is afraid of 5G radiation, that’s def a MH crisis, and we are seeing big spikes in states and behavior like that.
