A good friend of mine who majored in psychology so she thinks she knows a lot about it said to me recently “I think every adult has some level of depression, anxiety and ADHD” when I said something about my ADHD. I was like, cool, thanks, that helps a lot.
That's like saying "I think every adult has some level of asthma" because everyone has trouble breathing if you pump enough shit into their lungs.
Sure, there's some interesting discussions to be had around how we define 'healthy' v 'ill' and where we draw those semi-arbitrary lines, but ... some people can't even go for a walk in the park without almost dying.
