    It would be stranger if a large statistical increase in these behaviors throughout the population was due to individual brain chemistries of millions of individuals suddenly starting to act out.

        Of course. I think this quote is good for understanding Fisher's position:

        It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; and the task of repoliticizing mental illness is an urgent one if the left wants to challenge capitalist realism.
