The term mental illness itself is nonsensical...

The term [mental illness] itself is nonsensical, a semantic mistake.
The two words cannot go together...you can no more have mental
'disease' than you can have a purple idea or a wise space. Body and
behavior become intertwined in this confusion until
they are no loner distinguishable. It is necessary to return to first
principles: a disease is something you have, behavior is something you
do.
