The lovable aphorisms we had for people with character quirks were largely from our original support systems. What no one is talking about is the reason therapy-talk has become so pervasive is because all those support systems: family, friends, and local communities (religious or otherwise), have all degraded so severely for most that therapy is the only option for reaching out and getting help.

Your leaving out that people with mental and even physical issues often were outcasts for revealing them to their family, friends, and community in the past.

Some of that supoort wasnt present.
