I'm no expert but for the sake of argument I think your confusing Moral short comings with Mental Illness. Murderers, Rapist, and no good lazy bastards are not necessarily mentally ill. From a strictly evolutionary point of view, rape, murder, theft, ect...however morally repugnant, could be beneficial to passing on one's Genes and not necessarily a mental illness. Psychiatry on the other hand, is a medical specialty. These people go to Medical School and then on to Psychiatry. When they say mental illness is real, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Any Doctor could milk a person for monetary gain, and it probably happens all the time, but I don't think its a good idea to ignore chest pains because your doctor might send you out for unnecessary tests. IMO, If someone is suffering from depression, mood swings, hearing voices or whatever, I would classify that as a medical problem and urge you to seek the help of a trained medical professional.
