If you typed up some weird stuff like "i think female humans have very cute faces", you used to be just a weirdo. Now you "have severe psychological issues and need to get counseling".
If you were always grumpy and mean, you used to just be a "grouch". Now you're "depressed" and "should find a therapist and consider antidepressant medication".
If you believed in wacky conspiracy theories and enjoyed living life believing you were Jesus, you used to be just "crazy" or "insane". Now you have "paranoid personality disorder" or "delusions" and are recommended to check yourself into a mental hospital.
If you heard voices and talked to entities, you used to be a shaman who was in contact with the spirit world and had their third eye opened. Now you have "schizophrenia" and "psychosis" and should quickly see a psychiatrist to address your delusional thought patterns and receive antipsychotics.
If you were quiet and enjoyed other things more than socializing, you were just shy. Now you have "Autism Spectrum Disorder" and should seek a therapist who can help teach you "social skills".
If you preferred not to talk to people because you think it can cause more trouble than it's worth, you were just cautious and smart enough to keep your mouth shut when in doubt. Now you have "social anxiety disorder" and should seek out cognitive behavioral therapy.
If you were biologically male but enjoyed looking like a girl, you were just a biological male who enjoys living like a girl. Now you have "gender dysphoria" and should immediately seek out a "gender therapist" to coach you through "transition"
