This is not a mental health discussion this is a mental disorder discussion.
According to the analogy from:

Shawn’s point is: “The absence of disease is not health.”

Thanks for your comment, Anne.
The goal is to get to a place where people who are having struggles can openly discuss them and get support, moving toward higher levels of health and functioning, regardless of whether or not they identify as having a mental illness.
I want to be clear that all of the hard things are welcome.
What do you think would work better to capture this?
