Schitzophrenia and Other Mental Disorders

Mental Disorders

     The term mental disorder means psycological and behavioral syndromes
that deviate signicantly from those typical of human beings enjoying good mental
health.  All that mumbo jumbo means that a person with a mental disorder was a
few cards short of a full deck.  This is probably not the persons fault that
they are like this they were just born this way.  These people are not all a
like.  They are not even in exact classes because all of the classes have not

estimation.  The U.S.  in 1990 spent an estimated 148 billion on treating mental
diorders.
