The article describes what led to her being diagnosed with mental health issues: sadness, withdrawal, refusal of food.
She was what used to be called sensitive, which decades of the pharmaceutical industry's greed, bribery and coercion have succeeded in pathologizing, while societal aggression remains as bad as ever.
The article also quotes President Trump's Tweet.
Anger Management, not so much. He's right about taking breaks. Everyone needs them.
Little kids don't know when they need breaks. They don't know why they feel sad. They can't articulate social dynamics to their parents, who have to try to guess what's wrong. That's why so many children are being diagnosed with mental illnesses that they don't have. Either they're pathologized right away or things deteroriate until actual medical help is required, and even then it's the tortured kid that is diagnosed as being defective, not the meaner, dumber kids and the school which let them push her around.
Sensitive child of artistic people. There you have it. Although I don't tend to use Wikipedia as a source, there's no reason to think these facts are inaccurate.
It is a myth that artistic ability and mental illness are intrinsic to each other. I think the problems that Ms. Thunberg had at school can be attributed to a multitude of issues, all of them having to do with societal failures and none of them having to do with a biological basis for her emotional pain.
For the first few years of writing about the conglomerate every day, I could not think about anything else. The worst issue for me was the conglomerate's promotion of child molestation. If I woke up in the middle of the night, which I frequently did, I was thinking about it, thinking about all of the children being hurt and all who would be hurt because of the conglomerate. Eventually I had to relinquish the idea that I alone was responsible for stopping the conglomerate, this huge, mobbish, frenzied group devoid of empathy and motivated by a herd mentality. That was how I preserved my sanity. Little kids don't know how to do that, and adults often minimize or forget it, also.
