Is Free-Thought a Mental Disease?

[Koolay]

You said, and I quoted, "I don't believe in mental illness." Mental illness is defined as the following:

"Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind/soul, and -ωσις "-osis", for abnormal condition or derangement) refers to an abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality"."

Mental illness does not and can never have an objective definition, historically people have always put their own definition as to what mental illness is.
-Don't support the monarchy? mentally ill!
-Don't support the communist party? mentally ill!

Logical thinking however can be objectively and mathematically measured.

You can measure someone's entire being with socratic principles.

-What are there principles?
-Do they ever intentionally violate those principles? (If yes; they are irrational).

I.e, if you tell your child that hitting others is wrong, but then you go and intentionally hit that child, then you are irrational. Whether you are 'ill' or not is irrelevant.

Irrational thinking can be corrected with thought exercises. Shit like schizophrenia cannot. You know what happens when you try to convince a schizophrenic that their thought processes are irrational? They become even MORE irrational. There is literally no way to reason with a schizophrenic, and you know why? Because their brains are fucked up.

All irrational thinking and acted out trauma can be corrected and healed to a degree.

Absolutely, you can never 'un learn' schizophrenia, but you can certainly heal to a degree, but never good as new. The brain similar to any other part of the body can be permanently damaged through trauma and abuse, if left untreated for too long it can fester and become worse like any part of the body to the point were recovery is virtually impossible.

I'm certainly no expert as you said, but I can understand the principle of how irrational thinking manifests and develops.
