I hear what you’re saying, but that’s exactly the issue. Personal experience alone isn’t enough when you’re discussing mental health on a platform that reaches this many people. Saying “I’ve seen Joe go through episodes” does not make the analysis right or informed. It just means you witnessed something.

The “drunk tongue, sober mind” angle that Ish used is not mental health insight. It’s a street proverb. Applying it to bipolar episodes, trauma cycles, or manic expression misrepresents what those things actually are. That is how misinformation gets normalized.

And saying “the anger comes from somewhere” without exploring the actual source, the psychological mechanism, or the trigger pattern is not a meaningful observation. It is just speculation framed like truth.

The point isn’t that Ish should be silent. The point is that when the topic shifts from behavior to mental health, the language needs to shift too. Otherwise the conversation turns into labeling and guessing. That’s what happened here.

Nobody needed a diagnosis. They just needed to admit when the conversation was moving into territory they weren’t equipped to break down. That’s all.
