That article talks about the pathologization of "life's misfortunes," which is absolutely a problem. It goes on to describe how this relates to the diagnoses of depression, bipolar II, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I'm not talking about a diagnosis with "fuzzy boundaries" here, I'm talking about a woman displaying clear paranoid delusions:
And then murdering her husband, pushing her children out of a moving car, and crashing into a tree at 100 mph.
Of course neither I nor anyone else could make an accurate diagnosis without directly evaluating her. My entire point was responding originally to someone who was trying to dismiss this is "just hate," because it clearly isn't. Among the differential diagnoses for this woman would be a severe manic episode, indicating bipolar I, or a psychotic episode, indicating a number of possible psychotic disorders, among other possibilities we could not know without evaluating her. We're not talking about "where should psychiatry draw the line between depression and sadness?"
So now after all the sophistry and unwarranted attitude now you admit you cannot make a diagnosis from third hand sources. She could have shown the same behaviours from a minor stroke, a tumour or some other brain injury, she might have been traumatised or goaded into killing her family. We and especially you do not have any real evidence and here you are AGAIN making further diagnosis from her writing. Tell me, professional psych, do you also practice phrenology and analyse hand-writing?
Why the fuck aren't you bitching about the original user who just went, "that’s just hate. That’s what hate looks like" without any evidence either? Are you insecure around someone who professes to know more about the subject? imagine how out of touch you are if they actually are what they say they are; because from a bystander reading this, you're really giving off major Dunning-Kruger vibes combined with obvious double-standards since you don't call the other user out making blind claims without any merit whatsoever.
Thus far it kind of sounds like you're the one who really has no idea what they're talking about.
