The point was to prove I'm pretty well-versed on the topic whether you like my posts or not. Doesn't make me an expert, but I passed all the required classes at a prestigious Psych program sooooo that's worth somethin

No. Deviation is something that's different. Different things are not necessarily wrong. A mental illness is something that hinders people in functioning in their daily lives and they suffer from it. That is a fundamental difference.

According to wikipedia:
A mental disorder, also called a mental illness or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.
