Why do we get mental illness

The following may be misunderstood, and it is just my personal opinion.
There is also such a way of thinking, but the fact that it doesn't suit me is better
It might be strong. If you don't mind...

As for kids, everyone has something called a “mental health,”
Actually, I also think it might not be OK.

Humans are creatures that can look at themselves.
A mirror is a good example.
But because of that, we are what we call ourselves
I've come to understand it quite a bit.

I have a different self from my true self. I thought so,
Conversely, they are too compatible with myself, and due to communication etc.,
It also created the phenomenon of not being able to confirm oneself
(There may be a misunderstanding, but I'm a good match for myself
(I think it's related to acquired autism)
,
If the self you stare at is too close or too far,
I wonder if phenomena such as myopia or farsightedness that cause blurred focus will occur
I think so.
Let's say this is what is commonly called mental confusion.

My child is myopic, but I don't think it's an illness.
I think it's a sensory gap.

Therefore, it is necessary to correct it with a camera or the like.
Correction in mental health, speaking from elementary school experience,
It's a life in nature.

They live a life with earth, wind, water, and fire.
Touch the greenery, touch the water, touch the wind, and touch the warmth of nature.
This is orthodontics.

However, there are things that cannot be cured by itself.
Right now, it's important to walk with your primary teacher.

　I don't understand medicine, so I'll talk about it without medical opinions. Please be aware.
Many people with mental disabilities appear on the NHK program “Bali Bara ~ Disability Information Variety ~”. Some of those people said they didn't realize they had a disability until recently told by a doctor. Such people say I want you to look at this disability as an individuality. I wanted them to understand and treat me. What is really necessary is something that people around you understand rather than curing mental illness, isn't it? Do you view mental illness as a disease or as personality or personality? Isn't it?
When I first learned about depression, I thought while I was a student that it would be okay to have a day when I was depressed as a human being. Are positive emotions such as being upbeat or positive about everything really right? Isn't the environment where you think we have to be like that sick?
Even if I say such things, it doesn't change the society where it is difficult for people with such disabilities and illnesses to live. I will end this answer while saying disgust.

Moca, I also saw the other questions. It seems like your worries are pretty deep.
Life is full of hardships, things that don't turn out the way you want them to, and can't stay the way you want them to be.

There were lyrics like this in songs by Hitoshi Ueki (comedic actor/musician from a temple) during the period of rapid growth in the Showa 30s.

The one without Zeni is bad with me
I'm not there either, but don't worry
Look, blue sky, white clouds
Something will be done soon~

It's a song that symbolizes an age where there was no money or goods, just an age full of hope for the future.

Now that Mocha is here, there are enough things and information,
It is also an age where there is a lot of sense of hopelessness and blockage about “not being able to stay the same.”
Isn't this also the reason why there are so many “mental illnesses”? I think so.

However, “look at the blue sky and white clouds” should be more beautiful than the Showa era.
Isn't it also important to have a half-hearted feeling that “something will work out soon”?
I think the boundary between becoming mentally ill and not being mentally ill is at this point.

Look up a little bit, look at the blue sky, and think something will work out, right?

This may not be an answer to your question, but I hope you take it as advice.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

There are various mental illnesses, but for example, in the case of depression, it seems that there are people who are easy to become and people who are difficult to become.

People who are prone to depression and people who are less likely to become depressed

What are the conditions for the type that makes you depressed?

Of course, cases may vary in various ways due to congenital genetics, personality issues, or acquired external/environmental factors.

Now, I've mentioned a bit of a humble way of thinking about “disability” in the question below, but I know that there is no change in the fact that every human being has factors that uniformly create suffering called “ignorance, worry, and bad work,” whether it's a mental illness or not.

The question “is it a woman or a man?”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1003003944.html

The question is how to work towards a better transformation of each state of mind.

Shakyamuni taught solutions to improve each person who is truly lost and suffering, according to their state of mind. It's just like a famous doctor administers appropriate treatment according to the illness and prescribes medicine.

It's called good, clever, and convenient, but it is a Buddhist scripture that summarizes those teachings, and now it is possible to rely on those Buddhist scriptures to search for treatments and prescriptions that suit you.

However, there are times when you cannot determine for yourself whether it really suits you or whether it works, so it is necessary to make an assessment together with teachers and friends of law while referring to commentaries on Buddhist scriptures and commentaries by various scholars and masters of later generations, and there are times when you have to practice ascetic practices, so I know that in reality, a lot of prudence is required.
