Everyone has a right to an opinion.

I do not agree with yours as I feel it plays right into the philosophy that many people who have not been touched by mental illness believe. Mental illness is not simply a get over it thing. People don't enjoy or relish having an mental illness. Most mental illness is caused by real medical conditions that affect the brain chemistry. One can not just wish such things away.

I see that you have posted similiar posts throughout SR. I am unsure what your motive for doing so would be other than to try to force your beliefs on others. Good luck with that. I prefer to research, find fact, find solutions, and trust my personal experience and judgement. My personal experience has shown me that your philosophy although it might be well meaning actually causes more harm than good. Best of luck to you.
