That also begs the question of the definition of mental illness. You or I could create a list of totally unrelated "symptoms," call that a mental illness, and SOMEBODY would fit that criteria.
I am sure. I don't pretend my list is the end all or that it even comes closed to discussing all that needs exploring. I just posted the general direction I think we as people and the professionals should be looking toward in earnest.
And, I don't disagree with you in principle. As always, the devil is in the details, isn't it?
It sure is and there is where the conflict often arises. Look at how we all connected when we were attacked on 09-11-01 but not long after when controversial secuirty measures started happening we parted ways and returned to bickering and disagreeing. People and societies are complex but I do believe we all want to stop these killings if possible.
