This meme template typically depicts a clinical setting where a healthcare professional asks about family medical history, only for the respondent to reveal a 'mental illness' that is actually just a controversial opinion, an obsessive hobby, or a specific internet subculture. It gained traction on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit as a self-deprecating way for users to mock their own fixations or the toxic traits of certain communities. The humor lies in the exaggeration—equating things like playing a specific video game, being a fan of a certain artist, or using a particular programming language to a diagnosable medical condition.
