Disagree with the OP—unless you’re wanting to separate “health” from behaviours and proclivities.
There IS something decidedly wrong with certifiable narcissists (I’ve only met one, maybe two, and they ruined lives and directly contributed to the suicide of their then partner), and there’s nothing normal about the guy who gets slighted over a trivial matter and then beats the “offender” to within an inch of their life over it.
How about serial killers? Rapists? Paedophiles? Nothing wrong with their mental health.
What about the teenager who writes up a manifesto and stalks through their school with a semi automatic weapon and puts round after round into their classmates?
How about psychopaths? Stalin? Hitler.
No…everyone’s mental health is absolutely hunky dory.
Now, If you’ll excuse me I’m going to go rip the wings of a friends parakeet and put them in my mouth so I can show off my new feathery rainbow coloured tongue.

Completely disagree with your equivocations kryptos. All of the groups mentioned have terrible mental health. A large number of school shooters are on medications for serious mental imbalance.
Entirely respect your opinion. Entirely disagree. There are sizeable portions of our society who are mentally ill. Hell I’d say the majority of us are, in our small way, batshit crazy. Including me. I have a moderate level of clinical depression. I recognise that I suffer from social anxiety. I’m not giving myself any “oh no all of that is fine, nothing wrong there” garbage excuses. It’s poor mental health and I can dramatically improve it.
To pretend there are no mental health problems is…insane. Try telling that to the good people who work in the mental health field, especially in acute units at hospitals.
They’ll tell you some wonderful stories.

^now most of that I agree wholeheartedly with. Perhaps I didn’t fully reckon on your meaning.
As someone who has in the past seriously considered taking my own life because of “shit life syndrome”—not to mention a serious repugnance for the prescribed path of life/societal hullabaloo, I’ve often wondered the same, although I wouldn’t dare call a sizeable portion of suicides “rational”. That’s impossible to do unless everyone who decided to commit the act left detailed notation on their reasons why.
Suicide doesn’t strike me as a rational act, unless circumstance are so indescribably awful that there truly isn’t another option.
By the same token I’ve felt PRECISELY that way (and had ten single spaced pages detailing and validating that to both myself and the traumatised people I’d have left behind), only to find that having held on or had some dramatic intervention….
I wasn’t thinking clearly. I had clinical depression. “SLS” as well call it breeds depression, which drives cyclic thoughts of hopelessness, which can in turn rationalise suicide.
Doesn’t make it rational. 95% of the time I’m so happy I didn’t take my own life. Not for anyone else (that guilt trip “think of your family” schtick irks me) but because as flawed as I am and as daunting and shitty as my personal life can be, I get to breathe and feel warmth and talk on an Internet forum.
Anyhow kryptos good shit.
