I am mentally ill... No, because they have already done that, it was the fastest thing to do first.

Hi Lacsar
Is not the definition of mental illness not achieving wellness in life? Maybe with treatment wellness can be achieved but if no treatment and doing well then is it not an oxymoron to say a person is ill if well. Just a thought and I know there are degrees of illness/ wellness and shades of grey.
I do think some mental states are used by Society for specific purposes out of which the person could be seen as ill - highly competitive aggressive types maybe in the army? P'raps that is why so many homeless people are ex-servicemen. Don't know! Big question.

Actually I think everybody's mentally ill- BUT of those diagnosed- an awful lot live with their families and are taken care of that way, Others are in hospitals and group homes.
