Diet plays a huge role in mood; and we normalize "comfort eating" way too much.
You cut out sugar from your diet and you will feel better. We consume an insane amount in western societies and it's not good physically or mentally.
You can't just focus on mental health without the physical health because they are so dependent. I feel like we're deeply missing that point today.

I've seen many articles lately on the relationship between what's in our gut and our mental health. Their source escapes me at the moment, but here's a paper on the relationship between diet and mental health: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4167107/
It's easy to pay attention to only one (a definition shift would be social/communication), but all three matter.
These illnesses are failure modes at a mid level in the most complex information processing device in the universe. There's a lot going on - it's not so much definition shift, as this is complex, and yes it is a communal cry for help in part.
