I’m really happy to see valuable research like this published.
Attributing mental health issues to physiology might look like a convenient way for a distressed individual to escape the associated social stigma, but in absence of causal mechanisms pointing that way it is a dangerous assumption to make, prompting symptomatic treatments that leave the underlying cause to fester.
Unintentionally perpetuating the stigma of mental illness through e.g. mindlessly used unfortunate figures of speech is among the worst casual slips one can make.
