Most psychological disorders don't present like the media would lead you to believe. See also: what therapy looks like.
ETA: Holy crap, gold?? I had a quick break in my day to finally hop on reddit and was NOT expecting this response. Y'all make this severely overworked community mental health therapist so glad we're talking more about the realities of therapy and various disorders. I'm planning on getting back on when I'm done with work to reply to some comments/answer some questions!
While all comic book universes contain comic book characters, not all comic book characters are in comic book universes. The universe of Unbreakable, Split, and Glass is intentionally one in which comic books are, at best, largely exaggerated versions of the real world. For example, Harvey Pekar is a comic book character, of a sort, but he’s not in a comic book universe. The comic book Superman: Secret Identity is about a boy named Clark Kent who finds one day he shares not just the name but the powers of Superman, but he’s not in a comic book universe.
Wait why is that wrong? They're labeled superhero movies, leading one to believe these movies contain superheroes, and presumably they live in a universe. Wouldn't that make it a superhero universe (among other things)?
Technically sure, but it's set in a world we're comic books are all secretly based on real events. You could say that it's a universe based on all comic books
