404notfound posted:And this NPR article came out the day after and isn't directly related, but there's one quote that I feel was especially poignant: The people who are skeptical of mental illness are the same people who believe in the just world fallacy. It's less skepticism and more an inability to accept the idea that large portions of your life and mental state are entirely out of your control. Some people just need to believe that happiness is a switch you choose to turn on to be able to function normally and not have an existential breakdown. They can accept that their bodies can break, but they can't accept that their minds can. Probably because if you're careful you can avoid physical harm, but there's nothing you can do to avoid mental illness. In that way it's weird that we usually feel bad for someone who broke a bone doing something stupid but tons of people have disdain for someone who suffers from depression through no fault of their own.
