mental health: fear of others/ourselves?

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Sat, 09/13/2008 - 3:03pm.
Now that's an interesting idea. Maybe the whole category of "mental health" grows out of a fear not only of others but of ourselves as well? A fear that we may not be in control of either? And so we pathologize in an effort to assert control over the uncontrollable?
