Well on a basic level mental illness and/or mental conditions do prevent normal functioning in the brain...I don't think it is to mean to have any mental ailment makes one a total freak/monster or lessor, but to claim mental conditions don't cause any abnormalities seems to kind of defeat the purpose of differentiating between what it is to have a mental condition vs. not having one and thus functioning 'normally'.
