Think about it; every single person alive suffers from some form of mental illness even if it is mild in a few of them.
So everybody on this website is normal. Abnormal is to be perfectly well adjusted with no signs of ANY mental illness and there is not many of them around.

Id have to strongly disagree with the statement that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness...kind if invalidating to people who actually suffer from mental disorders that significantly interfere with their life.
In psychology what I learned is everyone likely has a trait or more that would be simular to traits of certain mental disorders...some people might have a couple traits of OCD without having the disorder, same with lots of other disorders. It is only considered a mental disorder/illness/condition ect if you have the symptoms not just a couple traits that could be construed as symptoms and it causes significant impairment in functioning.....Not everyone is suffering from that.
hopefully I don't seem rude, just feel kinda strongly about that I guess.
