I would say it is the same kind of bullshit. "Mental disorders" are just artificial conventions that classify emotional distress, non-compliant behavior and stuff.
There are no proven "chemical" imbalances with for example depression. And psychotropic medication does not balance the "chemicals".
I also doubt that being sad or mad about something on the internet will give you accurate predictions about the mental order or disorder of the user. Of course there will be some correlation, but there also will be a lot of false negatives and false positives. I mean diagnoses by non-artificial human professionals are quite unreliable.

Illness is also an artificial convention that classifies physical distress, abnormal phenomena, "and stuff." That doesn't make it less useful as a label. There are people out there with all kinds of mental disorders.

Me too. The article basically sounds like fund-raising/trying to get support from a different financial source.
