It is interesting that when labeled with a 'biochemical disease" people become more hostile to the victim than when labeled with a "spiritual" or "inner self" disorder...it is as if people are afraid of brain differences, but accepting of inner self and spiritual disorders, by the way they are put...inner self and spirituality are calming and show vulnerability, whereas brain variances seem to communicate something scary and out of our control.....to me mental illness is more of a inner self disorder, I like they way that is put, it communicates more 'humanness..' which we are no less human than someone not inflicted....
