Just keep going....
That physical health reasons are accepted with no questioning while mental health is not.How so?
I bet many antivaxxers would use a vitamin infusion.
Would you consider people who believe that “ the system is after them” and all the other conspiracy theories to have a healthy mental health?
I once saw a patient who was not eating or drinking because of fear of being poisoned. Even opening the food container in their presence and offering to try it first did not help. They responded: “ It will not harm you, only me”.
I consider fear that lead people to believe unreasonable arguments as a lack of health. The fact that the person does not identify the fear themselves is part of it. The fact that others don’t take the influence of mental health on our behaviour into consideration just creates divisions.
Looking at some of the main anti-vaxxer characters, it seems to me that a societal crisis like we have with Covid has brought out people with certain personality disorders who have collected a fan club of people with anxiety issues.
