I was just reading about how psychologists and others don't really refer to people as having "mental illness" as that's such a vague term. Everyone has problems and physical differences in how they function. Look at all the different "intelligences": http://www.thomasarmstrong.com/multi...elligences.php Does having one and not another mean I'm "ill" or handicapped in some way? No, my experience is just "different" than another person's. A person born blind isn't better/worse than a person with a family history of heart disease who isn't better/worse than one with a family history of schizophrenia or depression.
