Around the department


Question that came up today: is it possible to have a mental illness while having none of the symptoms of that illness? J.D. claims that unlike the case of certain non-mental-illnesses (where one can have the disease without having the illness), mental illnesses are such that they cannot be segregated from their symptoms. I am unpersuaded by his arguments, but I don't understand them, so I can't repeat them here.
