npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) why do we continue to accept the euphemism "mental health" when we are actually talking about unhappy/unhealthy states?
This euphemism encourages us to confabulate relatively normal (if unpleasant, upsetting) levels of stress and anxiety with mental illness, which would benefit from skilled help.
