Something has gone seriously wrong when a diagnosis becomes a personality.
ADHD becomes not just a description of attention difficulties but a coveted identity that explains away academic struggles. Anxiety transforms from a challenge to overcome into a badge that grants special considerations. Depression isn't just a state to move through but an identity that demands others adjust their expectations.
We did this. The mental health system did this. By treating every human struggle as a disorder requiring indefinite management, we taught an entire generation to build their identity around their wounds.
They can eloquently describe all the ways they're broken but struggle to envision how they might be whole.
The mental health system operates on a formula as seductive as it is simple: validate, diagnose, medicate, repeat. Validation is not nothing. That initial moment of being truly seen and heard can crack open the door to healing. But too often, that door never swings fully open. What begins as necessary acknowledgment calcifies into a ritual of stagnation, keeping people trapped in the very narratives from which they seek to escape.
The question nobody in the system wants to ask is the most important one: How do we promote resilience when identifying with fragility provides immediate benefits? How do we encourage personal responsibility when the systems young people navigate often reward its opposite?
We're not just talking about individual therapy outcomes. We're talking about how an entire generation understands themselves and their place in the world.
The stakes could not be higher. And the system profiting from this has no incentive to change it.
