Personally, I think this is unfair. People do recover from illnesses.

Many other reasons to doubt this whole affair, but this would cast aspersions on millions of people who suffer from such ailments.

Don't forget all the recent flap about Prozac aggravating such conditions - might have been some bad meds.

I agree with you.

Mental illness is being used as a pejorative in this headline and, imo, unfairly.

I feel exactly the same way about the insanity defense in criminal cases, but I am in the tiny minority... Reality fails to trump PC in this case, presumably.

nobody is casting aspersions. however.. if one is mentally ill then one is ill mentally. fair enough?
