I believe they are. I have schizoaffective disorder.

Aaaaay, I was the exact same when I was younger.... The teachers thought I had autism.... And low and behold I do... Fuck therapists though, complete waste of money!! ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ•ʔ

seriously? Of course they are. The brain is an organ, subject to physical damage, influenced by the hormones and chemicals etc it's exposed to. All of which can lead to temporary or permanent chances in how the brain functions 🤦

Brain chemistry is affected my nature (genetics) and nurture (diet, gut bacteria, how treated growing up, traumatic events, chronic stress, illnesses, etc), etc.

Of course there are real disorders. Good ccounselling cannot necessarily "cure,"but can provide coping tools.

These should not be confused with superficial resistances to socially-acceptable 'norms' however. Not all boisterous children are adhd, for example.

Have you ever seen a banana on a pile of oranges ??? It looks every beautiful

You shall be spanked. Disorder is never of the mind.
