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 …

So yes I know people are suffering. ******I****** am suffering. I am the diagnosed “mentally ill” person who has been hospitalized multiple times and self harmed at age 11. I am not even close to denying human psychic pain. But I see it as human pain rather than illnesses
When a new mom doesn’t want to interact with and bond with her newborn, you can call it human suffering I guess, but it can save us literal generations of suffering to call it an illness and give her the treatment that gets her out of that needless and deeply harmful suffering.

What does this have to do with people experiencing grief and anxiety (amongst other things) during the coronavirus?

That’s what the MH crisis consists of- the rise in emergency referrals, the rise in calls to DCFS, the rise in work for emergency MH personnel. Those institutions only get involved when the MH issues are intense enough it’s likely someone is going to get hurt.
