Philosophical Friday
This week I am posing a question:
“Do you think there will ever be a cure for mental illness? Why? Why not?”
Please reply seriously or in good fun.

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.

"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
Possibly. I think that would require being able to pinpoint exactly what’s at the root of someone’s illness and specifically targeting that. I don’t think that will happen anytime soon, but maybe some day science will be advanced enough.

Do you think for, say, schizophrenia, there would be different causes? I am trying to determine if you feel there are different causes for the various mental illnesses.

I think there are definitely multiple contributing factors. Whether there’s one core factor that makes people vulnerable that’s common among everyone with a given illness – possaibly. Hard to know

I see. Thanks for your insight. I also wonder if this one factor would indicate, due to severity of illness, what kind of illness a person got, but I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about exactly.
