Abstract
In this study, we examine how consumers understand and negotiate mental illness in a marketplace that does not always offer empathy. We employ theory on place attachment and spatial vulnerability to discover how person-place bonds form (or not) when consumers’ agency and power may be restricted in complex, protracted ways. We situate our research in the context of the college campus, mobilising data from semi-structured interviews with 25 college students diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression. Students’ narratives are enriched with their hand-drawn maps of the campus and surrounding community, a process called counter-mapping. Data were interpreted using hermeneutics. Findings show a form of ambivalent place attachment that develops through consumer perceptions of physical, social, and symbolic (in)security. Students’ attempts to regain power within and control over their environment takes the form of often-maladaptive coping mechanisms that threaten students’ personal and academic wellbeing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
