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...
