I didn't read most of the articles.

But as someone who suffers with PTSD and CPSD as well as childhood developmental trauma, I shudder at the notion that I may have traits equivalent to MAGA merely because according to the article that I did read, I most likely have an enlarged amygdala myself.

I think posting articles like this are problematic and further stigmatize people with mental health issues.
