I find all of the ads/messages quite depressing and very negative. I understand what it's trying to say, but it still misses the mark, imo.

It focusses on a negative aspect of each of the sufferings, and rather than give hope, they seem to solidify the out of "my" control hopelessness of each malady.



The term "disease" while correct because each of those cause dis-ease, it's too permanent. Plus, and I think this may be what the thread is discussing, "disease" has the physical illness connotation and doesn't fit mental unwellness--yet. Many of those maladies are "just" disorders.. a dis-ordering of thinking, of the mind. Disease makes it sound like a permanent physical disability to me.

Be well. Just my pov.
