I'm down in points 34-50 in one of the leagues (the one with hasselback, Longwell, and Tiki. That league is kinda tight right now and it's not the easiest.

Mental illness is like physical illness, just the only symptoms are in higher brain function and the causes of it are not well understood. Some compassion and a lot of research are in order.

I'm not so worried about people with obvious symptoms (unless violent), it is those who appear normal on surface only to find out later that they are batshit crazy. But, yeah, I do think people who have moderate to severe mental illness deserve the same compassion. It is a lot easier to say than do, though.

I am unsure of what you are asking as far as extending courtesies to folks who have mental illnesses?

Your brain is an "organ" too, and it can get sick, just like all other organs... So, if a child gets menningitis but heals from it with treatment, it does not mean that later in this person's life-such as adulthood-a mental illness would not manifest itself...

There is a strong correlation between manic-depressive disorder and type 2 diabetes. The brain uses glucose for energy production. The depolarization and hyperpolarization on the down the axons drive the energy force to send the neurotransmitters to other neurons or nerve endings. One defective neurotransmitter release is seretonin reuptake. The SSRI's tackle that problem and many people carry single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 5'HT transporter that may cause a predisposition to some types of bipolar disorders...

Lithium depresses the thyroid hormone release... But helps with Alzheimer's...

Lamictal can cause seizure disorders, but helps with bipolar disorders...

So, I am unsure what you mean with lack of interacting with folks that have mental problems...

In fact, folks that start to have early onset of a heart attack seem to become more violent--the flight or fight response--irritable and angry... Then they have the heart attack...

So, folks bodies do response to not only physical ques but also mental ones...
