That's a great way of putting it! It's basically going into survival mode, just to be able to deal with the thing at hand. There is an immediate problem, and it needs to be solved, and your focus becomes that, all feelings are placed on the back burner for that period of time, until the problem is
completely solved (which is why it can drag on for years or even decades).

So true. And, the same principle can be applied to other "abnormalities" too, like autism for example. It's unique and can have a very unique impact in a situation, yet people like to focus on how it is not "normal" and automatically assume then that it's incorrect to be that way.

Yes, exactly. It's just like the medical field. They have not been able to find cures and treatments for ALL diseases and illnesses yet. Thousands of people die in hospital every day all around the world, so for those individuals, (even modern) medicine has failed them.
I can't see why the psychological/psychiatric profession is any different. Just like medical doctors, they know a lot, but not
everything. There are still "illnesses" that they cannot "spot" or "cure".
