Maybe someday in the future people will look back on these times and say, how could they have NOT have realized that mental illness was influenced (if not caused) by the horrible ways they treated their fellow humans? And since the "ways we treat our fellow humans" are what make up social rules, really anyone who steps outside them is by definition mentally ill. I was reading about Edith Wharton last night, that was kind of her premise, not that she advocated it, she just pointed it out.
