— Love.
And my inspired comment:
Of course we have to wait for the study, because while people do talk about a understanding themselves, often people have no sense of Self, which leads them to refer their sanity to what they are told is proven through studying others.
When we hear : mental health is not the same as physical health, it means that if you are mentally healthy, then the results of studies are secondary.
The studies find and report the results of people talking about looking for their Self in the conglomerate of Others: The fulfilling prophecy of finding one’s Self by mistake.
As the philosopher Slavoj Zizek has said somewhere: the modern subject is always late, or in the case of mental issue, is always looking and finding itself after the fact of It’s Self.
And in this same context, it is the founding statement of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy: a psyche is a subsequent phantom of imaginary and symbolic ideas. That is a projection.
The utter simplicity of health is missed through the modern insistence of complex identity as the basis of one’s Self.
i.e. everyone must be screwed up.
