No doubt. To me all this relates to an implicit dualism and just not taking mental health seriously still. I just don't think we ever will while viewing the mind as one thing and the body as another. There will always be this bias that we would consider morally really off if discussing a "physical" health problem.

Even being aware of this I have a bias with typing out "mental health" without realizing it.

We are probably doomed until "brain health" replaces "mental health" in common language.

I had really bad social anxiety about a decade ago but the treatment for my ingrown toe nail was so much better and taken more seriously than a problem with my brain. The first person I went to about it had a community college degree and said they didn't believe in medication. Just incredible.

It is like saying the automobile is just a faster horse and buggy. I mean you aren't wrong.

Of course, pretending there are no sociological effects of the average person traveling 5X faster whenever they want is completely absurd but you are correct in what you said.
