Talk:Mental illness (alphabetical list)

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Please separate mental illness from mental handicaps (developmental disabilities). I know many mentally handicapped individuals, and none of them would consider their disability to be a mental illness. An illness is something that is undesirable, whereas few of the mentally disabled people I know have any desire to be any different.24.64.223.203 08:48, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
