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.

Is dyslexia even classified as mental illness? I thought it was learning disability of some sort. But to answer your question, I think we evolve along with the environment (and the environment is evolving along with us) so in different places there are different problems. I guess some mental illnesses have a higher chance of developing in the first world, others appear most in the third world. That's my guess.

@HannibalAteMeOut Disablities and illnesses are pretty similar in that case, disabilities are mostly illnesses. True it depends on a lot of factors.
