> Whatever happened to toughing it out and becoming better/stronger in the process?

This literally is not possible with a lot of mental health problems.

When your brain chemistry or your literal brain development is messed up, how are you supposed to just tough it out?

It's crazy to think that people can just overpower their own brain chemistry.



Of course - actual medical conditions must be treated.

In case my original post was not clear, I wonder if the _idea_ of being affected by ailment X or Y has become fashionable. That's all.
