You claim later in the thread that the quote in the title is ridiculous and attribute it to some backward American or another. Why is none of that made clear in the OP? Rather than leaving the inflammatory title just hanging there.

Again, with the stigma surrounding mental health the title is ill-judged, and unnecessary. Sure, you're using it for hypothetical reaso ...[text shortened]... render it any less repugnant. And yes, you are very much perpetuating the myth around mental health.

How about addressing my last post?

You don't think it necessary to explain or attribute the quote in the title?
