Fragmentation of experience refers to the diverse and decentralized nature of modern information and cultural exposure, influenced by technology and global connectivity. It is a sociocultural phenomenon where individuals encounter multiple, sometimes conflicting narratives. In contrast, mental illness involves clinical conditions that affect an individual’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioral well-being, often requiring professional intervention. While fragmented experiences can challenge traditional narratives and personal identity, they do not inherently indicate the pathological disruptions associated with mental illnesses.
