[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 559705, member: 1211"] I have some relatives with this mental illness, and for a brief time, I worked with people with mental illness. I never gave it a lot of thought, but when was around it enough, I concluded that it was a lot about impulses. They had no mastery over their impulses. They want. They take. They want. They do. They want. They eat. There's no cause/effect relationship in their perspective. If it occurs to them, there's no weighing of consequences or questioning is this good for me. Not directly self-destructive at all moments, but ultimately, mostly so. I'm sure it is a lot more complicated with adrenaline and endorphins and other brain chemistry, too. It's a real predicament, and I feel our culture is too quick to label it as simple weakness. Of course, that's easy to say from outside while not experiencing all the frustrations and inconveniences.
