Because with pretty much every mental disorder if you believe you can overcome it and you try to, then u can usually overcome it.
okay, lets list some mental disorders
post traumatic stress disorder, manic depression, schizophrenia, anorexia, insomnia, dyspareunia (pain during sex), tourettes, dissociative identity disorder, substance dependence,amnesia, dementia,
etc etc
do you really think that for all of these that if most of these people believe they can overcome them and try to, they will succeed? And that this hasn't been tried before and failed in most cases?
Reeeally gotta learn what you're talking about before you make generalizations like that. You might have a case for ADD but yeah, not every mental disorder.
I gotta add more to that, like fuck have you personally gone through some of these things and 'overcome' them by believing in yourself or something? you sir must be a hero
I'm just speaking from experience of knowing people that have to struggle with mental disorders everyday and it's attitudes like this that shit all over everything they're trying to accomplish.
