This is a total tangent, but I find it funny, everyone uses bone breaking as an example, but a broken bone is a unique injury. It can totally disable your limb.

This is a total tangent, but I find it funny, everyone uses bone breaking as an example, but a broken bone is a unique injury. It can totally disable your limb. If you don't immobilize it, it won't heal properly. If you immobilize it, it'll heal back stronger than ever in a few weeks. Mental illness seems more similar to a soft tissue injury. There's a much wider range of severity, it can be asymptomatic, cause instability, or be completely disabling. There's much debate over the right treatment in many cases (surgery isn't always the best option, but sometimes it is). People disagree on whether certain ligaments and tendons can heal.
