I get it. Mental health issues have not been taken seriously in the past to say the least. And we're better off when people can openly talk about them without being ostracized. But you can definitely swing too far in the other direction. I keep meeting people who are almost bragging with their claimed collection of mental illnesses as if it's a lifestyle choice.

It could be, it could also be that people are finding a "reason" for their behavioural issues/predicaments.

It's far too complex (even for qualified professionals) to be making broad statements.
