Mental illness is not trendy or cool to have

Seems to be a lot of people online and in person who fake mental illnesses now and think it is some cool label to attach to themselves. Tik Tok is flooded with it and yeah when you actually have a real mental illness, It does not make you trendy or cool and there is really no positives to it.
It bothers me that people are so very desperate to attach labels on themselves that now this has become just as bad as those who fake it for financial gain or whatever else..

Also self diagnosing yourself isn't a actual diagnosis

Maybe they are desperate to figure out why they struggle and find ways to help themselves.

Instead of assuming people are desperate to be labeled..assume health care, including mental health care, is seriously lacking and that people are seeking these answers on their own because they can't afford to go to professionals.

@JaggedLittlePill is it really a assumption to say people love to label themselves? it really isn't.

As far as mental health care, what you say may be correct but self diagnosing wont help what so ever because it is not accurate and only does more harm
