I don't think that's a fair characterization. If someone says they suffer from bipolar illness, you wouldn't assume that their "real" problem was that they had a sprained ankle. Similarly someone complaining of CFT shouldn't be assumed to have a mental health problem instead. That doesn't diminish the severity of either kind of problem.

Dan was just referring to the comment about mental/psychological illnesses being "not real". You bring up a different point (but that is still not an excuse for this attitude).
