Really and truly, are there people who don't have some sort of mental illness - diagnosed or not..what i'm

Question: asking is..are there really people out there with a perfect brain chemistry...... i just don't think there is any such person..i'm sure there are many in denial, but when it comes down to it, aren't we all just a little "off". i wonder is there a perfect mind out there, and if there is , what is that like and how do you ever know for sure that your mind is as balanced as you believe it to be? I'm very curious about this.

Answers:
That is a great question, one I have thought about often, only with a different take, I feel that many people who have a mental illness is nothing more than normal reactions to events in life. I have been hearing a lot about people being put on anti-depressants because of a death in the family, who wouldn't be depressed? What I really believe is lately we just want a quick fix for everything and it makes it hard on people who really do have depression not caused by external factors. Some refusing help they need because this to them is a hype. Maybe when we do find that one perfect person they can tell us.

Well, perfection does not exist in our Universe. Therefore, a "perfect" brain is physically impossible, however, you can easily see small brain defects (such as falling on head as a child) through someone's behaviour. If someone's brain has been deforemed, even a bit, you could result in a complete retard. (Retard as it "The Mentally Ill", i just hate eufamisms)
