What do you mean "most"? What kinds of mental illnesses are you referring to here?

I mean most, that's about as specific as it makes sense to be since the definition keeps morphing to hook an ever growing part of the population into the profit-machine.

When I said that the sufferers of mental illness objectively do suffer, you did not seem to have a problem and you said that society is the primary cause. (And explicitly not a hereditary disposition, as is generally believed to be a factor.)
Now you seem to be suggesting the conditions are expanding, as if invented, to serve a profit machine.
This all suggests to me that your real opinion is that the illnesses don't exist.

All I ever said was that most mental illness is a product of society. Anything beyond that is a product of your imagination. If you're going to actively avoid truth by taking every chance to derail the discussion, why even bother?
