Generally no. Each state has its own laws regarding gun ownership, and mental illness is usually a disqualifier in all of them. The term "mental illness" can refer to many different problems, some serious, others not. If ever there is a borderline case, I think the authority would err on the side of caution and not allow such ownership.

Yes, an adult with mental illness can be awarded benefits from the state, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in the United States. Eligibility typically depends on the severity of the mental illness and its impact on the individual's ability to work and perform daily activities. Each case is assessed individually, considering medical documentation and other relevant information. Additionally, some states may offer mental health services or support programs that can assist individuals with mental illness.
It’s difficult to label any mental illness as the "worst," as each condition can vary greatly in severity and impact on an individual's life. However, disorders like severe depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder can be particularly debilitating, leading to profound distress, impaired functioning, and challenges in maintaining relationships. The stigma surrounding mental illness can exacerbate these conditions, making recovery more difficult. Ultimately, the experience of mental illness is highly individual, and the "worst" may differ from person to person.
Family members may feel embarrassed about mental illness due to societal stigma and misconceptions that frame mental health issues as a personal failing or weakness, rather than a legitimate health condition. In contrast, physical illnesses are often viewed as more socially acceptable and easier to understand, as they are typically seen as beyond a person's control. This stigma can lead to feelings of shame and isolation for those with mental illness, impacting how families discuss and support each other. Ultimately, societal attitudes significantly shape perceptions and reactions to both mental and physical health challenges.
The best answer you can hope to get here is -- they can be, but it isn't very likely. Not all negative or questionable human behaviors can be relegated to the category of mental illness or mental health issues. While mental illnesses can lead to socially unacceptable behavior, not all such behavior is the result of mental illness. It just is not that easy to throw a blanket diagnosis or explanation over entire areas of human action. It would be hugely inaccurate to say that mental illness is the cause for most, or even half, of the negative things we as humans do to each other. It could be the result of something as simple as that emotion that everyone feels, anger.
It depends on the cause of the illness. Some mental illnesses are caused by genetics and these can be treated but not usually cured. Some are caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, if the chemicals are balanced the person may recover completely or may require long-term medication. Some mental illnesses (some depression for example) are caused by circumstances, the death of a loved one, childbirth etc. They may require medication, counselling or just the passage of time, but the person will usually recover. Although they may become ill again if the circumstances change.

The government spends approximately $675 million each year on tobacco control and prevention programs and campaigns to reduce smoking rates and promote smoke-free lifestyles.
It probably means they are crazy for one another. Fruitcake and bananas are slang terms for weirdness and mental illness. So he is probably saying that they are made for each other.
Actually atheism is a form of mental illness. It causes the sufferers to ask ignorant and leading questions online. --------------------------- If anything, atheism is a form of mental illness. Mormonism is a little strange, but it's okay. But NOT FLDS Mormons, like Warren Jeff, who exercise Polygamy, in that case, it's a mental illness. After all, there are many more Christians than anything else. The thought that a "Big bang" created the air that we breathe is crazy. Over 1 billion Catholics world wide (Almost 1/6 of the world, not to mention alot more Christians that are non-catholic.) The fact of the ratio alone should reflect on how crazy each of the other is. FLDS is NOT under the category of Christianity, even though they claim that they are. I suspect the reason of the question is the recent trial of Warren Jeffs
The term "mad" can be subjective, but if you're referring to mental health issues, studies suggest that approximately 20% of adults in the U.S. experience a mental illness each year. This includes a range of conditions, from mild anxiety to severe disorders like schizophrenia. It's important to note that mental health stigma can affect reporting and diagnosis rates.
