Do you think that some mental illnesses can be considered as first world problems?

I mean the ones that won't put someone's life in danger, I haven't heard of someone dying from Dyslexia for example.

You should probably reevaluate yourself, just generally. Mental health is not a privilege.
@WhyMeIAskedTheVoid I'm serious I would trade my physical illness for some lame mental problem, well to me some are lame like the one I mentioned.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I can't speak to any physical illness you have, but it's a failure of imagination if you believe a mental one would be better.
@WhyMeIAskedTheVoid That's why I specified the non life threatening ones. Trust me I live in a place where they believe that depression isn't life threatening which is stupid cuz it definitely is a big deal and the world loses a lot of lives to it everyday. You can disagree but I'm just saying that some mental illnesses are just so lame.
