Waves and Lara,
The idea of the subset is confusing.
I looked for the actual study to find a clearer sense but only could get to the abstract.
Re "Mental Ilness" as a defining term.
I have heard "Behavioral Disorder." I am not sure if that works anymore (if it ever did) especially as we know more science and the epigenitcs of such.
For me the problem is that it is an Invisible Disorder.
There are tons of us walking around -- some functioning, some not, some in between depending on the day and time -- and we are expected to be like everyone else.
