Reply To: Mental illness in the frum community- take 2

I’m going to ask my Dr about PMS- if he thinks that it’s a real disorder or not; if he thinks that it SHOULD be a real disorder or not.

Just wondering what people here think about this. People say to me (not knowing that I suffer with one) that a person suffering with a physical illness is a lot worse off than a person suffering with a mental illness. In my opinion, I don’t think the two can be compared. I think that they are two totally different situations. Honestly, It could be that since I’m suffering from a mental illness myself I’m a little biased, but who knows?!
