Check this link out:

NAMI | About Mental Illness

Now, my sister has a mental illness, bi-polar disorder. This illness is just like any other illness, and is corrected with medication. Psychological problems are different and are handled by seeing a therapist.
I had a girlfriend once. She also had bi-polar disorder. She took medication. I think one of the primary medications is nickel.

Lord I sure wonder what might have happened if I had stayed with her.

I absolutley think most of what is called "hate crime" has mental illness behind it.

To put it mildly, you have to be pretty fucked in the head to get a kick out of something like dragging a man behind a pickup truck.

See how little sense that makes?

I'm fairly well-versed in mental illness. As a reporter, I did extensive interveiws with my area's chapter of NAMI.

And like I've said in previous posts, I've also spent a fair amount of time -- much more than the average person -- around the criminal justice system.

Many, many people going through the system suffer from varying degrees of bi-polar or similar disorders.

Like I said, fucked in the head doesn't necessarily mean 'mentally ill'.

The person has serious psychological problems, but can it be cured with medication? Probably not.
