Mental illness is in and of itself a socio-political construct. To assert the label of being "mentally ill" on another is an attempt to disqualify their viewpoint from consideration in the public forum due to some form of physical defect rendering the speaker unfit to participate. As it turns out, controlling the goalposts of "mental illness" is to wield an incredibly powerful docio-political tool. Anyone resorting to claims thereof I instantly downgrade heavily in consideration, and begin immediate adverse treatment barring extreme self-evident behavior on the part of the accused. Behavior that comes out to more than "embracing a viewpoint I might not like".
