I am saying that using words like "crazy" makes people refuse to consider using the right doctor and right treatment. Those patients start using words like "real" - "it's not all in my head, it's a real illness".
I'm not sure I understand your post in the context of my post.
Oh, if you mean specifically that the word 'crazy' makes people get stubborn and make bad decisions, sure I guess that's true. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for people being stubborn though, even though I'm quite sympathetic to the problems and suffering they experience.

The last line of the text. The whole post is almost like a troll disguised as reportage. Don't lose sleep over it. If the text started with this line, I wouldn't have even bothered to read it much less comment on it.
