@tycho - Sorry to hear about your injuries. I agree,man is split in between two selves.Its a struggling battle. @essyk - I believe the equation sounds good too.But I believe God + principles are the core because there are times when man will disappoint you. @mukiri - I understand that the devil can play a role but how is he coming in here. To be honest I'm more pulled towards how Buddha lived his life. You've got to be able to live life through the hardships and the good times. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

I am of the opinion that mental ill health is not a bad thing. If "Professor" Ochieng' is to be believed, the temporary insanity that afflicted this nation and, in this case the Rift Valley after the last erections, helped to "resolve" the vexing land question afflicting this "their" land. I like to call myself a psycho of Wazua as Tyco so elegantly posits. What surprises me is that I am loving every second of it mostly because it is my will. Half the registered voters in this Nation are prepared to vote for the Innocent Suspects because of Nationalism, Patriotism, against modern day communism? Tribalism? Yes. That is my question. Who determines who is mentally healthy and what is the yard stick? Enlighten me.

How come some many geniuses are diagnosed with some form of mental illness? What role does the ego play in mental illness? Uncertainty is certain.Let go

If, Man has two selves, then two selves must be related.
Clearly, the Existential self is greater than the mental self till the Existential self is the mental self. Existence determines the mind.
Therefore, the mind works up to the Existential self.
Hence mental illness is the condition of the mind not working to its goal.
The working of the mind includes relationships, and all things and events in the world.
Normalcy, then is the tendency of the mind to change, and to conform to the Existential self.
Such a relation implies 'satisfaction' and pleasure. It is also a mutual relationship.
Normalcy is a state of mutual pleasure amongst a people.

@Mahegoat, we all determine what normalcy is mainly because an individual is a point in a very wide relationship of individuals.
The yardsticks are mutual pleasure and freedom.

Now how do we determine what the existential self is or what are its goals. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Only a third of these psychiatrists work in the public sector, the rest only take on private patients at great expense. symptoms of mental disorderFeeling sad or down Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate Excessive fears or worries Extreme mood changes of highs and lows Withdrawal from friends and activities Significant tiredness, low energy or problems sleeping Detachment from reality (delusions), paranoia or hallucinations Inability to cope with daily problems or stress Extreme feelings of guilt Alcohol or drug abuse Major changes in eating habits Sex drive changes Excessive anger, hostility or violence Suicidal thinking Stonethrowing Name calling Online hostility brb "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

The question you have asked, forms the backbone of History. It is about the changes of the mind as it realizes its Existential self.
It is about us building on what our ancestors have built.
The knowledge passed to us must always be reordered to facilitate normalcy.
So far, we have not only Scripture, but also Science, to offer us work opportunities.
And Science is meant to help us to establish what is true.

If anyone of the minds is not working towards its goal, then the relationship is not normal.

Of course not! For example, I don't understand how you can speak of an exclusive 'we'!
