and using online dictionary and posting definition is in no way "science".
And if you are refering to "science" as in "medical model of MI" that is no way as failproof as some would believe.

I was giving those definitions to clear up previous definitions of normal that were
only derogatory. I was also posting them for those who had a hangup with the definitions of the words i had used to begin with. I understand there are those who get hung up on words because of negative uses and i simply put those out there so they could see that there was more than one definition. I was not saying those definitions are scientific prove of my original post. That's why i suggested research on mental illnesses. That's where you'll find the evidence that a lot of them are developmental. As in, how the brain develops. Again, this can be caused by environment, nurture, or genetics, or a mix. This goes for any singularity, personality trait, etc. as well. It's true that science gives room for new theories and nothing is Fact. However, this is what we know as of now, and that's all I was stating. As I also said, there is new evidence that some mental health issues can be caused by an actual disease such as a virus. I did not intend to limit it to all. And I truly did not mean personal offense against any illness, disorder, etc. My point by saying it was scientific proof, was basically like saying that it is scientific proof that my crooked finger was caused by it being smashed and broken in a door at 4 years old.
