Ninja:
30 seconds, proves that argument.

Out of the HMs left, I`d say Dave was the most dysfunctional. Also Mario.

I think they realised their mistake with Shabaz.

Everyone has personality adaptations in order to survive and socialise. Some become more dysfunctional and extreme than others and find it difficult to cope in the world = mental illness.

There is such a huge spectrum of symptoms that can come under the term mental illness, from something as 'small' as very mild depression to complete insanity. I can imagine that while not all of them have a complete clean bill of mental health, none would have symptoms that have any cause for alarm otherwise they wouldn't be in there. I think they realised their mistake with Shabaz.

I don't think any of this lot have real mental health issues. But quite a few have problems they might benefit from talking to someone professional about. Then again, don't we all?

According to the Psychological (biological) perspective - Humans (and non-human animals) inherit the Genes coded with; abilities, characteristics or behaviours that enable survival and sociability within their environment - through what's termed as 'Natural Selection'. This process then leads to 'Adaptations' - an evolved function, which accommodates immediate influences from the environment/culture (chemically and socially). Personalities clearly differ, by their ascribed traits - i.e reliable or fun-loving to unreliable anti-sociable etc. However, most people suffer from a state of depression - persistent or short-lived and, whether it's relatively mild or extreme - it's deemed as a mental illness.
