I’d like to inject some sanity (pun intended) into their point. Diabetes is body vs itself which obviously needs assistance. Some mental health things need to be “treated” just to make someone a “productive” member of society.

For a slightly different take, would you amputate one of your arms to fit in with a society where everyone else has only one arm?

mental illness is also the body versus itself, precipitating untreated in self harm, suicide, and addiction.

… Yeah, obviously those things are bad. That’s a given. I was talking about things that aren’t harmful to anybody, neurodivergent people have been punished since always for being different

Neurodivergence is not mental illness. The rest of us were talking about mental illness which is an entirely different topic.
