@lightingracer None of those are mental disorders. A mental disorder is something psychological, where as all of those you named are chemical or developmental.

@theonepony PTSD isn't chemical. That's psychological.

@lightingracer Bipolar can be either, but a majority of the cases, like most of them, are from chemical imbalances.

@theonepony FWIW my doctor refers to my depression as a mental illness even whilst prescribing me pills to fix (or at least regulate) my brain chemistry.

@lightingracer Wait a minute. (Doesn't shut down internet just yet). You're making a fan fic about developmental disorders. I study those, and I have A.D.H.D myself. I could probably be of help, but I have to do my term paper first.
