alright this argument is so flawed from my view think about this hypothetically even if by some means all this time i was making all these one off choices knowingly that led to my current experience that one would label mentally ill well dont you think that theres a disorder and severe problem in that itself that i would just so happen to make all these choices that would lead to a huge negative effect on my wellbeing thus if its all theoretically a choice wouldnt making these bad choices be a cause for deep concern in themselves where i should still be subject to the same care as if i was perceived with a disability like i am now where mental illness isnt perceived to be a choice either way the argument that its a choice so we shouldnt be treated the same is flawed imo for the route you supposedly took to make those choices are just as pressing of a debilitating issue as a mental illness that is not a product of choices
