Given the ACE study (which, among others, concluded that the more difficult childhood experiences someone had, the more they are at risk for experiencing mental illness, among others): Do you think it makes sense to call mental health a privilege? And to say that people who are born into families with less intergenerational trauma and more access to support are privileged, basically?
I’ve been wondering whether it makes sense to understand mental illness as a systemic societal issue instead of an isolated „disorder“ that mysteriously befalls individuals.
