Without medical diagnosis, much, much easier to see patterns of distress routed in people's lives and social histories, and today's society, economics and local and global politics. Patterns like these makes it potentially much easier to see what changes would reduce human stress - seems very obvious. But maybe currently too obvious and too challenging.
The most important idea from this that to me is made more explicit, is the greater possibility of showing how patterns link with what is happening in society, economics and politics. It seems almost too obvious - so too challenging. Society prefers to blame or at best accord a variety of identities or victimhood.
