"Chronic feelings of emptiness"
That sounds like enlightenment.
Obviously the psychologists consider enlightenment as a mental disorder.
The most important reason for that is : people will stop going to
psychiatrists if they get enlightened.
A normal person is considered to be one who lives in the society, spends
money, works hard, has some psychological disorders and goes to the
psychologist for help.
An abnormal person would be one who lives in the forest (ie "sociopath"),
liberated from material world ("narcissism, grandiosity"), has no mental
problems ie. emptiness and bliss - ( "depression") .
