Just What Does "Crazy" Mean, Anyway?

Mental Illness Is Not:

acting "funny"
demonic possession
living an evil or trauma-filled life
having a "weak" mind that can't cope

Mental Illness Is:

a medical problem that starts at conception
an inherited vulnerability to life stressors
a low stress tolerance level that you're born with
and a chemical imbalance in the nervous system
