They want to feel different, and so, use mental illnesses as a way to present as different from others.

Let's face it: most of these "mental illness collectors" have lived very stable and confortable middle class lives, and so, need something in their lives to claim those sweet sweet opression points over.

They have no conception on the harsh realities of life or on how it truly feels to be disenfranchised or opressed.
