If they aren't taking care of their health with intention they are mentally ill in my book.

Doesn't mean I fault them for it, and I treat them with compassion.

You’re just throwing everything into your own made up definition which has 1 user. It doesn’t fit with the actual definition and it’s not part of the language protocol so of course people will disagree with you, because according to the language protocol every one uses, you’re wrong.

I get that you like to argue, but you’re arguing with people about your made up definition of word when youve not even stated that you’re using made up definitions for established words. This is why philosophers start by laying out definitions, so these type of dumb useless conversations don’t happen.

It’s retarded behavior and a waste of time and some may say making up your own definition to try to be “right” and not telling anyone else is a clear sign of mental illness 😂😂

I'm using the definition correctly, you're angry with me for stating my opinion - you came to argue with me not the other way around.

My opinion could be different from yours, that's fine.

After sharing your opinion I still believe that people who live lifestyles that are so clearly unhealthy are mentally ill.

It might be inherited values from their parents & no fault of their own - but the definition of mental illness is clear & an animal who didn't know what was good for them we would call mentally ill or retarded or autistic or w.e label works for you.

You just committed the “cherry picking” fallacy.

You’re putting everything you don’t like in the mental illness bin. It doesn’t work like that. Mental illnesses are diagnosable conditions, not your personal pet peeves.

Someone who doesn’t understand how to eat properly isn’t mentally ill, they’re just ignorant.

Someone who does TRT to combat low energy, low sex drive, muscle wasting etc isn’t mentally ill, they’re addressing issues with a medically viable solution. It isn’t perfect but it isn’t “mental illness” either. In your make believe world, sure. But that’s irrelevant.

Label it whatever you want, I think mental disorders are a spectrum & all lead to subpar health outcomes.

The OP is still the same:

I find it hard to believe these interventions provide anything but high time preference pleasures to people who have always lived that way.
