Anyone drank black tea for many years, developed mental health issues?

Just 100 years ago, 250 years after tea-drinking was widely practiced in merry olde England, doctors were very serious that tobacco smoke enemas were wonderful cures for something. Hives maybe.
On Tuesdays, my news feed tells me that red wine, or even any amount of alcohol really, is to be avoided. Two weeks later, always on a Tuesday, the latest 'science' (admittedly interpreted and fluffed up by an independent or guest journo), says a couple of glasses of red wine are actually beneficial.

Even so, I applaud you for being brave and for putting the question out there. One can't be too careful... 😀

That's why I was asking for personal accounts. Many studies are biased and/or funded by others with economic interests. Many studies are pure lies or incompetence or nuts. There is a study contained in the NIH library done by a Chinese research organization I believe that concluded that tea can, or may. prevent and cure Covid-19! Good grief! No wonder the NIH has a disclaimer.
There is one case that I know of where a worldwide industry was propagandized for political purposes - to get the masses to believe something they wanted, true or not. Thankfully I believe the world is getting smarter and smarter, even though it may not seem like it at times.
The English writer I referenced was not, I believe, a doctor, but a famous or prominent observer of mankind. Often these kinds of people get things right, that's why they are famous. I believe there may be something to what was said about tea.
