Diseases of the mind

Michael, I don't think that The World denies that there are brain diseases and that these diseases can have a profound affect on behaviour. The World is arguing against the concept of mental illness, i.e., diseases of the mind. Such "diseases" do not have a physical cluster of symptoms, but are identified by behaviour e.g., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Depression, and (yes) Schizophrenia. Minds cannot be infected with diseases because the mind is not material.
