Again, the point wasn't to shame people suffering from actual mental illnesses or conditions, it was to point out that these people were behaving as though they were mentally ill, and also that the lockdowns etc HURT people's mental health. People invented mental illnesses for themselves as an excuse, and people who are not mentally healthy people dominated everyone else, forcing their unhealthy desires and lives on the rest of us.
I think it's possible you may be feeling defensive, as mental illness is framed as a bad thing in my piece. To be fair, it is a bad thing, though it doesn't make you as an individual a bad person...
Authority over what? It seems to me you've misunderstood my arguments. The piece isn't meant to be a scientific explanation of what various mental illnesses are. It's about behaviour and social approaches to mental illness in the West today. I honestly don't really understand what your specific critique is. Maybe you can point to issues you have with specific lines/arguments.

Um, I mean I have known all of these people... Not sure what you can possibly take issue with, in terms of this true statement...
