How to use mental illness in a sentence?

  1. Kaitlyn Davidson:

    Anorexia is not a body type or a body shape, it’s a mental illness. You still need to treat it, even once the weight has been gained.

  2. Mean Girls:

    A mental illness is a thing that people cast in a different category [from other illnesses], but I don’t think it is. It should be taken as seriously as anything else, you don’t see the mental illness: It’s not a mass; it’s not a cyst. But it’s there. Why do you need to prove it? If you can treat it, you treat it.

  3. Greg Gutfeld:

    The tree basically represents the kind of random violence that is fueled by mental illness that has become pretty much part of everyday city life.

  4. Andreas Lubitz:

    Psychology can explain why somebody would turn rage inward on themselves about the fact that maybe they weren't going to keep doing their job and they're upset about that and so they're suicidal, but there is no mental illness that explains why somebody then feels entitled to also take that rage and turn it outward on 149 other people who had nothing to do with the person's problems.

  5. Marco Rubio:

    There’s this false narrative out there that says just because you want to deal with mental illness means you don’t want to deal with the gun part. I’m willing to deal with the gun part. I don’t think people like this guy or people like him should be able to have any gun, not an AR-15, any gun. We need to create a system that keeps them from getting it.
