NOTE

Rejecting the Concept of Mental Illness

The individual in the snip espouses a hard-bright libertarian view that rejects the idea of mental illness as a made-up concept used by people to avoid taking responsibility. He aligns with Hayek's neoliberal worldview but goes further by asserting that mental illness is just a myth created by individuals to escape their responsibilities, and therefore, there should be no state provision or support for those suffering. He argues that people who claim to be mentally ill are simply not capable of dealing with the world and need to toughen up.
