I really like Crystal’s post because it shows just how very obscure the line between “illness” and

“normalcy” is.

That being said, I would like to suggest that inasmuch as “illness” and “normalcy” are very contrived things, “illness” and “normalcy” are also real - mental illness exists and is as real and problematic as physical illness.

Like Annie has said already, the problem is not so much the illness as it is the stigma of the illness. Unfortunately I have no ideas about how to go about abolishing it.
