A summary for anyone who doesn't want to read through the whole thing:

  • Being "mentally unwell" doesn't mean you can't think and reason logically so the term is meaningless.
  • PTSD is a perfectly normal and logical response to traumatic events, therefore having PTSD does not count as being "mentally unwell"
  • Medications is bad because we don't know how they work and it only change what goes on in your body when the problem is external.
  • The problem must be external because why would different people have different brain chemistries?
  • Maybe some people do have different brain chemistries, but it's because they made that choice before they were born into this world in order to experience what it would be like.

Or, in other words, woo woo nonsense from someone in denial about something in their own life
