Untreated almost any mental illness can become as debilitating. I'm bipolar and I know it's an utter pain in the @ss, but I'm not going to discount other issues that I have little to no experience with. There needs to be more understanding of mental illness in general, not arguing over who's worse-off.

I don't think that there is a 'worst' mental illness; we each deal with our own in different ways.
For example, someone with depression might think it's the most awful thing in the world whereas another might see the light, get help and not think of it as being that bad.
Nobody can have a million different mental illnesses so you can't pick which is worse.Health Question & Answer

Reactive Attachment Disorder. Being traumatized within the first two years of life and that's how you are hard wired for the rest of your life. It comes with most of all the symptoms of the other major disorders, but drugs can not fix this one. There is no chemical imbalance. Jeffery Daumer was one who had an attachment disorder.Health Question & Answer
