Answer 5

Its about time>> Finally a good question. I would have to say h**l No. Everybody is this world is damaged in some way. I mean come on, look at everything that is going on. All of us suffer from some kind of mental health problem, but you almost have to be a little nuts to make today in this world.  

Answer 6

Yes, a lot of people escape it.  However, everybody has a personality type.  Some mental disorders are just people not being able to properly deal with the stressors that they have in  their life, and not having the right guidance to do so, and have sometimes learned the wrong way to deal with stress.  However,  some people are pre-disposed to mental illness, whether it be genetic or environmental environments.

Answer 13

Pshh. The human mind's is so complex that at times I think the mind itself is a disease. I kind, but I doubt it. I mean take something as common as depression. Everyone goes through a sad spell and that itself is a "mental disorder." Sure you could be free from those damaging disorders like schizophrenia and manic depression, but still, you're mind is bound to have a sick day. It won't be until life is perfect that the mind will be at peace.  

Answer 14

Nobody on earth, is totally void of at least some sort of mental disorder.

Answer 23

Mental Health, like all health issues, are on a continuum from very, very little health problems (including mental) from moderate to severe.

E.g. ruffled to extreme rage

       alittle scared to extreme paranoid schizophrenia

We all fall somewhere on that continuum
