Mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and psychosis are an illusion. Most "mentally ill" people don't really even have mental illnesses. They're simply "pretending" they can see hallucinations, either for attention or because they're getting free money from the government by saying it.

Well, everyone thinks in their own way. There are people with same interests and thoughts, but in the end everyone is unique. Never trust psychology. It's about as reliable as it's main opposer(scientology crap). Mental illness is stupid concept. Pure crap. How many cured nuts you have heard about? It's not illness it's change in one's mind. No drug or traditional treatment can correct it. Ofcourse people who act out their criminal tendencies should be locked away, but isn't that why we have law and jails? I'm not opposed to practice of psychology in any way. One can easily find comfort and even "cure" from psychologist. What I'm opposed is that it's regarded as reliable science by some, but in the end it's not reliable at all. Unique behavior patterns that people have make it impossible to conduct any statistical analysis how human brain works or how it should work.
