Doesn't the impression of "toxicity" depend on how capable one feels about dealing with the situation? Is the "toxicity" an unchanging property of the person, or only of the interaction between the person and those dealing with her?
Some illnesses we had no idea how to treat in the past are now much better understood, so that we can really make progress with them. Maybe such is possible with psychological disorder too?
