Why is mental illness rampant on this sub ?

Let me preface I believe I'm mentally well-adjusted, I'm drug-free, and I'm learning about Kundalini while lurking in this subreddit. I don't believe I've experienced a Kundalini release.

There's significant overlap between people experiencing Kundalini encountering blockages causing mental problems, people misinterpreting their mental illness as a Kundalini blockage experience issue, and people dabbling in drugs misinterpreting it as a Kundalini experience issue. From the lay person's perspective online, it's difficult to differentiate between what is a legitimate Kundalini blockage issue and someone suffering from mental illness or drug induced experiences.

What you're witnessing on this subreddit from your perspective is borderline impossible for you to differentiate between what it borne of a legitimate Kundalini release issue, or mental illness and drug use without Kundalini release issues.

To complicate matters further drug use could result in a Kundalini release itself, or Kundalini could release while the individual is suffering from mental illness. These are not a desirable situations considering the individual is probably not prepared for it.
