"Mental illness" (as it's used in pop culture today) is a made-up term designed to gaslight people into believing that their natural, healthy reaction to the 21st century is somehow wrong and a pathology.

To be depressed in [current year] is no more normal than itching yourself when you're wearing a wool sweater. Nobody would call that an "illness," would they?
