The nature of suffering caused by mental illness is often difficult to convey, even to those who care deeply. Many individuals enduring this ancient affliction find themselves unable to articulate the depths of their pain. This inability to describe their torment not only isolates them but also prevents others, including friends, family, and even medical professionals, from fully understanding what they are going through.

This disconnect arises not from a lack of empathy, but from the profound challenge that healthy individuals face in imagining a distress that is so far removed from their daily experiences. The complex emotions and sensations of mental suffering can be elusive and hard to communicate, leaving many to feel misunderstood and alone in their battles.
