I can't tell if you are playfully trolling, purposefully obtuse, or really unsure of the meaning of mental illness.
Assuming it is the last option, below is a better definition. Simply defining the meaning of each word and sticking them together seldom works in the English language. The American Heritage� Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition mental illness n. Any of various conditions characterized by impairment of an individual's normal cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning, and caused by social, psychological, biochemical, genetic, or other factors, such as infection or head trauma. Also called emotional illness, mental disease, mental disorder. So conditions such as Epilepsy, Parkinson's, Left handedness (just kidding) do not fall under "mental illness" Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/09/02 03:41PM >>> >Mental: Having or doing with the brain/mind. >Illness: Disease, malady, etc, etc. >What part of mental illness does Parkinson's not fit in? >-- > jon > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
