I suppose you could make a case for orders such as:

schizophrenia
bipolar disorder
dissociative personality disorder
borderline personality disorder
depression

and so on. But it really depends on how severe the case is in a particular person. A person could have schizophrenia and be less ill than someone with depression. I don't believe that there could be a set order that's entirely correct.

That's too easy! The most severe, dangerous mental disorder is always the one the person making the list has, or is most afraid of, or both! Thus speaks a chronically clinically depressed person with anxiety and panic disorder, and resultant agoraphobia! But at least I'm not bi-polar!(?)

Mental illness is a disturbance of the mind that may interfere with normal behavior and make daily life difficult. Mental illnesses may affect one in five Americans at one point in their lives. There are numerous types of mental illnesses, ranging in severity from mild to disabling, the treatment of which may include counseling/therapy and/or medication to reduce symptoms. Some examples of mental illness are:

Psychotic Disorders: A group of diseases characterized by disturbed or bizarre thinking and behavior, extreme withdrawal, and hallucinations. Schizophrenia is one type of psychotic disorder.

Mood and Anxiety Disorders: This group of impairments can range from intermittently debilitating to severely handicapping. The major disorders of this type include: bipolar affective (manic-depressive) disorder; depression; obsessive-compulsive disorder; panic disorder; phobias; and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Organic Brain Disorders: Illnesses such as brain tumors, hardening of the arteries, and injuries can cause mental illness. Types of organic mental disorders include delirium and intoxication syndromes.

Personality Disorders: These disorders are defined by long term patterns of behavior and coping difficulties. There are 11 personality disorders, including paranoia, borderline, passive-aggressive, dependent, and antisocial.

Please pardon me for answering with a question, but... How can you effectively rate something that can mean a world of pain to one person and only a name for a disease to another? I guess I need a doctorate to do that. But an interesting question no less.
