How can someone say they have a disease or affliction while not understanding what exactly that affliction is as opposed to what they think it is/have been informed by media/society/non-professionals?

How can anyone say anything at all...?

That generalizes all the way.

Everyone's just working off what they've experienced or what they think is true, for mental health or where to find good lunch.

There is no universal truth. Everything is moving relative to everything else. New year, new DSM.

It would be more surprising if our shared experience was more different than more the same.
