Thanks, neogodless. I'll consider it. "We understand." is good I think

"We understand" is worse than "we get it".

The latter implies more empathy and is less formal and patronising.

Also "unusual" hints more at "eccentric". Bjork is unusual. Brian Wilson had a mental illness...

You could go out and spell it out: people with mental issues, or disabled, or whoever you like to include.

Thanks, coldtea for your interest and help with the wording, I'll consider it absolutely.

To me, "we get it" sounds friendlier than ”we understand."
