Alright look, I really don't want to derail this thread or start a conflict. But keep in mind there are people in this section who have mental illnesses since it is possible to have PTSD in combination with other things(though as far as current medical research PTSD is still considered a mental disorder) but the injury vs. illness has validity even if I cannot quite wrap my head around it or why its significant for it to be an injury vs. illness since either way it still effects mental health and functioning.

That said, having a mental illness is not 'simply' fabricating things that are 'not real or fact', so can you please stop with the inaccurate generalizations and information about mental illness?...kind of hurtful to people who struggle with mental illness to be told it comes down to 'simply fabricating things that are not real or fact' not only because it is inaccurate but just furthers the idea we're just crazy degenerates with no valid feelings, thoughts or opinions. Or is it only when a condition effecting the mind/brain is redefined as not being a mental illness that people with such a condition are to be treated with respect and have their struggles validated?
