Mental Illness is a freeing, enabling kind of viewpoint. And it helps us get around the problem of mental illness by seeing it as an illusion. The definition of mental illness is so broad and so ambiguous that i could you know, depending on how iin you, i can tag you with a diagnosis. All that means is that this concept ofmental illness is talking about emotional distress and difficult behaviors that we all go through jus one degree or another. None of us want to be bad, wrong and abnormal.
