In the liberal culture, mental illnesses are pretty much seen as badges of honor. They go in the Twitter bio next to the pronouns. They give you victimhood points, and a diagnosis can give you an edge in school so parents will get them for their kids. What's more, it seems to be a mortal sin to be milquetoast. It is a requirement to deviate in some way. A diagnosis given by a friendly doctor will help. You can even get pills.
Among nobody else is this the case. Liberals of other ethnicities can use that for victimhood points so don't really need a mental illness. Conservatives of course don't have mental illnesses at all, they have character flaws instead.
This is probably not wrong, though.

What we're seeing from the left right now is what happens when you turn victimhood into a virtue.
