You can't be neurotypical and have mental health issues

Post Reply New Topic

I am sorry, but you can't have severe mental health issues and be neurotypical at the same time, but you can be neurologically developed though.

You've introduced the word "severe" now.

That's not what your thread title said, and it's that title I'm debating.

Define "severe".

My point is that many people suffer from isolated bouts of anxiety and depression, but because they don't recur or become part of a wider pattern they aren't classed as neuroatypical.

It could be argued that far from being problems these are in fact perfectly well-reasoned responses to the world around us. But society in general and Doctors in particular still class them as mental health issues, albeit short term ones.

I didn't invent that word, lot of scholarships describe "Severe" when describing mental disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurogenic disorders with effective or psychotic features.

I think one should distinguish between neurology from... States.


If anxiety and depression is a neurodivergence -- then so is enlightenment.

Usually neurotypical means those who aren't born with any diagnosable developmental disabilities or disorders, such as autism, downs syndrome, etc.

Mental health disorders are too common in humans to be classed as non-NT.

It makes sense.

That makes sense.
