I wrote wrong in my comment in the other text. I don't know if it was understandable. I meant that subjective well-being is overrated in determining mental disorder, if, a priori, traits that do not cause antisocial disorders or stress in the individual are not considered symptoms.
For example, believing in god/eternal life.
If it does not harm the individual or others, so it is not a psychiatric symptom.
However, it is clear that it is a delusional thought.

Most people think that the normality they value and perform is the true rationality, but they are domestication rituals.
