Yes that is true. There are different degrees of mental illnesses. I was talking more about Keith. If he is ill I really do not think he knows it. I looked up the illness Dirty F says he has, and it says that most of the people with this illness do not know they have it. It also said that medication and therapy do not not usually work for treatment since it is a personality trait. I feel sorry for him since a lot of people are mean to him.
