Trust me, there is something wrong with these people.
It's not a "sane reaction to a sick society" a la Thomas Szasz or R.D. Laing.
If by embracing their defects you mean "accept that they are mentally ill," it helps ... because if a person is no longer denying their illness, they just MIGHT be a bit more compliant with medications and therapy. But only a bit. Even people who know they are crazy go off their meds. Or sometimes the meds just stop working right.
