This is a hard question to answer. For me, this past week I have described myself as 'ill' or 'being ill' because I have not been in the mindset I prefer to exist in. When thoughts become more toxic and I do things that I wouldn't ordinarily consider I think that there must be something wrong. Also, not attending lectures and such is easier to allow yourself if you are actually 'ill' otherwise it'd be skiving. I don't like medication for this 'illness', ironically, but I think that sometimes it should be recognised that there is the ability to be better from this and, not necessarily cured, but a bit more over it.
