There is no such thing as a “mental illness.” Is there a scientifically proven test that can show the blood loss like a puncture wound to the abdomen? There are no scientific tests to prove “mental illness.” If you want to know how the mind works, read “Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health.” This gives an exact science on how the mind works and how one can rid themselves of many challenges. It’s scientifically proven and has been around since 1951.

The other answer about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM-5 lists it as one.
However there is no scientific test to prove Alcoholism as a mental illness. It was voted on by a bunch of psychiatrists who get together yearly to vote whether or not it should be a mental disorder or not.
Citizens Commision on Human Rights (CCHR International) has tons of information on the pseudo-science of psychiatry.
There is a great documentary called “Psychiatry, An Industry of Death”
