Teach a bit of code to copy itself with errors, give it selective pressure over millions of years, and... Bam! You've got a self writing program for hijacking mammals and making them bitey.

I'm going to file a complaint.

My point was that emotion is part of and instrumental to mental health. Just that using it as the core concept is looking at things through a keyhole. As an aside we saw above that it's off-putting to clients too if not introduced delicately and rationally(haha). Indeed emotion will be part of a proper treatment for the issue and is part of everything. Leading with it in the ways seen further up the chain comes off as narrow.

Using the word emotional in this context just seems so wrong. Emotion is an abstract concept and isn't really complete enough to describe the problem. "The problem is related to your feelings" vs "It's a psychological or mental health issue."
