Part 6/8:
A core issue highlighted in discussions is the perceived decline in education around personality traits and emotional intelligence. There is a concern that modern society has not sufficiently taught individuals how to differentiate between traits that are part of normal personality development versus those that indicate underlying mental health issues requiring intervention.
Without this foundational knowledge, people may misuse or overextend diagnoses, which can complicate both personal development and societal perceptions of mental health. As a result, some argue that there's a need for better education about emotional intelligence, personality diversity, and healthy coping mechanisms beyond the context of therapy or self-diagnosis.
