I'm also noticing a phenomenon where it seems every millennial with a "woke" account on Instagram or Tumblr is bringing attention to "mental illness", when mostly they're referring to depression, anxiety, self hatred and suicidal thoughts. Is it enough to say I have a "mental illness" if I get depressed, have General Anxiety Disorder and bouts of self pity or self hatred? Or is that watering down the term?
