One alternative explanation is that people "mentally ill" simply never learned how to get their needs met and need to be educated, not "treated".

The point of all of this being that therapy is bad and unnecessary, or that there's nothing actually wrong with the likes of me...I don't know. I just know I suck at dealing with life.

I'm also numb today. Not sure why, but it's a nice change.
mental illness doesn't exist stuff.....interesting topic...how are they defining mental illness...
