Don't get me wrong, I'm all for self-help when it comes to healing oneself -- mentally, physically. But that other guy's piece was so dangerous and off the rails. First, his "mental illness" was generalized anxiety disorder, which yes, is in the DSM, but is 1) common 2) often situational and 3) basically just used as an insurance code these days. So I worry that someone with say, Bipolar Disorder, looks at his piece and thinks, I can do that too!! Reckless, IMO.

And we all think our writing is pedestrian. Isn't that the challenge?
