How you feel cannot be chalked up to illness??? If you're sick you "feel bad"!

Mental processes are electrical in nature. The thoughts themselves are nonphysical of course but the process of thinking has to do with neurons and synapses firing which have to do with weak electric charges. It is virtually impossible to distinguish mental from physical and we don't really need to do so.
think of the brain as an RC human.
think of your mind as the remote controll.

if the reciever in the RC car, the brain in the body, gets broken, why is it the controller's, the mind's, fault?
