Errol,
This is a very silly thing to say. Schizophrenia, depression and
bipolar affective disorder are as real as death or money, and you
scoff at them at your peril. They affect a big chunk of a percent of
the population, which means you're meeting several of them every day,
probably begging on the street if you live in a large city.
