"mental illness"? mental illness??!?

mental is incapable of becoming ill, the way a person thinks and feels cannot be chalked up to ILLNESS. illness affects the brain, it affects the body, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE MIND! perhaps it secondhandedly affects the mind, for example, misery. the misery you might feel in learning you will never again be able to communicate properly, because you're missing a huge portion of brain matter.
