but that's simply not true, the cause is chemical imbalances in the brain causing it to not function like a normal person, it's as real as any physical condition and its because of people like you who think it's nothing more than a scam that the issue isn't being addressed properly
and people are cured my old flatmate had defeated extreme schizophrenia, real mental illness isn't like they show you on TV
the only thing we don't know about mental illnesses is what causes the chemical unbalance, but if you're going to say it's not real because of that then you might as well say cancer isn't real as well since we are unsure what triggers that, in fact lets stop funding for cancer research as well since it's just a make believe disease and put funding towards people with broken legs
