The only area I'd disagree with is splitting mental illness into smaller categories. Mental illness can be temporary or permanent, so just because soemthing is fleeting would not prevent it from qualifying. Also, pastas already have a fairly hollywood understanding of mental illness. It's all serial killers, descents into madness, and unreliable narrators anyway.

While I would love for more accuracy and less sensatoinalism in regards to Mentall Illness and its' portrayls in the media, I don't think seperating it out into a billion different type of mental illness will do anything but create more abused and misapplied mental illness categories as the lay person can't generally tell the difference or knows what a particular disease actually is.
