TBH people don't really "have" these things. People exhibit "symptoms" that are described as these things. For me it's the difference between "having a disorder" (helpless, exploitable) and "having a natural reaction to a dysfunctional society" (aware, empowered).

Plenty of disorders are not helpful or rational reactions to a dysfunctional society. Natural, maybe, but that doesn't say much. It's one thing to be sad or angry about capitalism, another entirely to hear voices coming from the walls or think your loved ones have been replaced by body doubles.
