[lubuntu-users] which personality disorder would say it best?

Consider to compare the issue with a broken toe. You know that something
is wrong with a foot, but you don't know what. You need to check the
foot, to find out that a toe is broken. Once you know that a toe is
broken, you can do something very pragmatic. Repairing software and
hardware issues is even more direct, then supporting measures for
self-recovery of the toe. However, comparing it with mentally illness
doesn't fit. You can't find out what is wrong by a psychotherapy, nor
can you fix the issue by a psychotherapy. This even doesn't work to
fix issues with AI. At best you could compare it with a broken toe,
but even better is an analogy to a car that has got an issue. You need
to search for the reason of the issue, then you can repair it. It's
possible to replace a broken axle by a new one. IOW it's less
complicated than what needs to be done to cure a broken toe.

What you need to do is structured troubleshooting to find the culprit.
Once you know the culprit, you can try to get rid of the issue. No
medicine is needed, no psychotherapy is needed. Sometimes a user can't
fix an issue, then a bug report or feature request against upstream
might be needed or help by a repair shop could be required.
