Seerut Chawla 认为社交媒体上的"娇惯文化"、流行心理学以及疗愈文化相互关联，共同导致了功能障碍。过度保护和"娇惯文化"会阻碍个体发展，削弱其克服困难和应对情绪的能力。大学校园、流行心理学等领域都体现了"娇惯文化"，导致人们无法承受不同意见，并过度强调创伤和受害者身份。心理动力学疗法将抑郁、焦虑等视为症状，而非疾病本身，需要探究其背后的深层原因。过度保护会阻碍儿童身心健康发展，如同过度卫生环境会削弱免疫系统一样。区分"遭遇受害"和"自我认同为受害者"非常重要，后者往往是过度关注自身情绪和寻求特殊待遇的表现。痛苦是生活的一部分，而创伤则是对个体承受能力的极度冲击，会造成持久的生理和心理损伤。将创伤经历作为身份认同是"受害者文化"的核心问题。"疗愈文化"通过特定语言和框架，将日常情绪问题过度解读为心理疾病，掩盖了对心理健康的真正理解。流行心理学将许多正常的人际互动和生活经历过度解读为创伤或虐待，导致人们对自身情绪和问题的认知偏差。真正的关于心理健康的对话应该关注实际的心理健康问题，以及如何管理和应对这些问题，而非过度关注标签和诊断。西方社会对自我和情绪的过度关注，部分原因是生活过于舒适，缺乏挑战和克服困难的机会。真正的自尊并非来自外界的肯定和赞扬，而是来自克服困难、实现目标和对自身承诺的坚持。
