you clearly have massive internal stigma against people with psychologically-based illness. this is not the same as "making it all up."

this is exactly what i mean when i say this stuff is politicized.

i disagree fundamentally with the epistemic theory of "trust people to know what is causing their illness, not doctors or researchers."

e: for evidence of what this particular strain of "patient advocacy" looks like, just peruse through this person's previous comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29398210), such as:

> Alzheimer isn’t a disease but a symptom of chronic viruses and bacteria. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6066504/

> People with Alzheimer have been cured after taking antibiotics.
