The brain is an organ. Like any other organ, things can go wrong. It’s becoming the consensus that mental illness is caused by imbalances of hormones and similar things. Dopamine and serotonin in particular. It’s an invisible illness, though, and so sometimes it’s hard for people to take it seriously. Parents who don’t think of “clumsy kid” as a potential problem might just assume they’ll grow into their limbs. That’s what people thought clumsiness in childhood was for a while- uneven growth that would eventually normalize.
People normally find out they’re mentally ill when they realize the people around them don’t struggle like they do. When I realized that constant soreness and tiredness and sense of dread was a thing most people didn’t have, I called in to make an appointment and started searching the internet. Also, it’s not a stupid question. Personally, I’m a mix of B and C. I hope you realize that it isn’t your fault, because I haven’t gotten there yet.
