Why do people care about certain mental health conditions but no others?

People seem very sympathetic or empathic to things like suicidal thoughts or bi polar. However aren't as accepting of things like homicide thoughts or narcissism. It just seems weird to me.

Personally I don't understand how being bombed for days correlates with some people calling you a faggot for a couple of days.

I don't know what you mean? lol

It went from battle fatigue -> shell shock -> combat stress reaction -> post traumatic stress disorder

I guess it's easier for doctors to just prescribe PTSD to people than to learn a completely new illness of the mind.

Because as a society we cannot normalize or tolerate violence.

And narcissism isn't something someone is stricken with. It's something that stays with a person throughout their life, has zero positives for everyone around them, and is incurable. It's anti-social, highly destructive, and manipulative. The only way to 'cure' someone with narcissism is to extricate them from your life, and not deal with them anymore. Which is, of course, no cure at all. But at least it saves you.

I realize this is an old q, but wth.
