‘Only someone with mental issue will say that’

“Only someone with mental issue will say that” is a colloquial, often insulting remark used to dismiss another person’s statement as irrational, ill‑founded, or absurd. It implies that only a person who is mentally unstable would hold that view, serving as a personal attack rather than a reasoned rebuttal. The phrase is considered disrespectful and can be seen as ableist because it equates mental illness with faulty thinking. Views Nigeria
