Well, and I think (just my opinion) that mental illnesses just don't exist in discrete categories the way some physical illnesses do. Like a UTI, you either have it or you don't. I don't think the same is necessarily true of mental illness, especially in its more mild forms. AND, even when there is clearly *something* wrong, we try to cram it into these boxes that we made up. The boxes (e.g. is it depression or bipolar or PTSD or...) are just invented...they may not reflect real categories either because mental illness is so varied that there ARE no real categories, or because we aren't figuring them out very well.
