Mental illnesses and brain diseases are sometimes discussed as though they were like mechanical faults. But they are not. It’s not that the mind ‘doesn’t work’ properly, as if a component has ceased to function. In the first place, when something is altered in the brain or the mind, it is never just a component, inert and isolated. Brains and minds are living, constantly adapting, interconnected systems. And they are conscious. A brain disease or mental illness, then, is a change in a person’s whole way of being in the world.
