Would that be an imbalance caused by too much blood, phlegm, yellow bile, or black bile?

Physicians have been using this bullshit explanation for 2500 years.

Im agreeing the science is bogus. The alleged "imbalance" is in the neurotransmitters.

You think depression science is legit?

What is your evidence that depression is caused by a neurotransmitter imbalance if you can't appeal to the science

there's no standard of "mental health" to start from so there's no such thing as mental illness. "mental health" is something that really actually is a social construct.

Also wrong. The function on the heart is to pump blood. Heart disease prevents the heart from pumping. The function of the mind is perception and reason. Failures of realistic perception or pragmatic reasoning are diseases of the mind. Schizophrenia is clear mental disease.

We have no way of verifying that one man's perception is truer than another's. Of course common sense will tell us that the guy who sees dead people is crazy, but it's not a science.

The schizophrenia that is the direct cause of a conscious organisms death is a disease only to the extent that a group of other organisms judge it to be? Again, the function of the heart is to pump blood. The function of the mind is to produce perception and reason. Death due to perceptual or rational deficiencies is a death by disease. Do you not believe in heart disease?

Mostly with you... but "Death due to perceptual or rational deficiencies is a death by disease" seems a bit extreme.

Asian women suck at driving, so if she drives into a ditch and kills herself, then she died due to mental disease?

Yeah what's the prob with that? A better way to pin me down would be to ask whether death by old age is a death by disease. that would be harder to answer but id still answer in the affirmative.

Just cut to the chase. You think intentional states can be produced by non-intentional physical systems. I don't, ie human intentionality is an instantiation of an inherent intentionality in the universe (just as our bodies are instantiations of an inherent physicality of the universe), there is an intentioned creator, its an arbitor of final causes, etc

humanocentric wishful thinking, sad.

Not in philosophy of mind, it isn't. You can argue for property dualism (anomalous monism) but it still doesn't explain psychology.
