why would people choose to become mentally ill?
Question:
Answers:
By definition they can't, since "choosing" to be mentally ill would in and of itself be an indication of mental incapacity (it's not a functional or rational decision). Therefore, the road to mental illness, no matter how long or where it starts, is not one that's chosen by people.

I didn't know that mental illness was a choice. Kind of like asking why do people choose to get cancer or pneumonia? It's called mental illness because it is an illness, not a choice.
I like Uh_Yeah's answer!
I can't imagine anyone choosing to be mentally ill. Mental illness isn't chosen it just happens sometimes when something goes wrong.
ther only cases ive seen of that were criminals and druggies they take drugs that mimic symptoms of mental disorders sometimes like meth addicts here and see things and crack folks are suseptable to act on first thought without restraints or a filter on their acts or thoughts so its not really a choice and sometimes the person with a disordered mind takes drugs and drinks or one or the other to self treat their mind and thoughts
Choose?!? EXCUSE ME?!?! We don't choose to become mentally ill. I never chose to suffer from depression or an anxiety disorder during all the bouts I've had off and on since I was 13. I would choose to never have to suffer from it again but I know there's a chance for a recurrence in the future. I just don't know when it'll happen. Now people who suffer from metal illness can choose to receive treatment for it like I did with my last bout and will do in the future.
choose?
That's quite a question. Actually, I do think some people do choose to be mentally ill. Or, in reality, they fake a mental illness to escape life, even to get to be in an institution for treatment of mental illness. But that is very unusual. Most of us who are mentally ill would not choose to be for anything in the world. It can be the worst agony that you can imagine. I hope you don't think what you said is true, because you are far from the mark. No one would choose the life that the mentally ill lead.
OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE MENTALLY ILL CAUSE ASKED THAT ?
WHAT GOING ON IN YOUR MIND TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD CHOOSE TO BE THAT WAY?
I HOPE YOU BE OKAY.
People do not choose to become mentally ill. It is an illness. My brother suffered with it for many years. The medicine ruined his physical health.

Close observation of a family member for forty years.
thats like asking why would people choose to be born!
because insanity is much more fun than reality.
i honestly dont think anybody chooses to be ill.
If you make a conscious decision to feign mental illness, it is called malingering and is usually done for some kind of gain eg. pleading insanity to go free
If the decision is subconscious ,it is called Factitious disorder and is attention seeking unconsciously
True mental illness, I am afraid we dont have a choice about.
because, they're tired of society coming down on them for not being like everyone else, so they want an excuse.
that would be like saying why do people choose to become black or white.
No one askes to have a mental impairment
Mental illness is not a choice, that would be like choosing to have cancer. But thats not to say that some people fake a mental illness, I believe that in those cases it is a need for attention.
Ever seen One Flew Over the Coocoo's Nest? In that movie, the man has nothing good in his life, no job, no house, no food, and so he fakes insanity so that he can be taken into a mental institution to live a better life. I think that this is mostly a hollywood idea, but for the same reasons some people stay in jails on our tax dollars living for free.
i tell people i cut myself and they put in me into the hospital.Jan to now i been in the hospital 25 times
