These are inquiry domains for the cited account, not diagnoses or interchangeable translations.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

Attributed origins
Arises from lived caregiving and treatment-seeking difficulty rather than an asserted biomedical cause. No origin mechanism is established for this expression.

A history of experience is distinct from a diagnosis and can include caregiving. Local phrase reframes the person as suffering from illness rather than deserving avoidance.
