No
Just because an individual does not meet the "standard norm"
(which is--by-the-way a very arbitrary tag -- anyway) is no sign that they are "mentally sick"
I believe that there are distinct differences in people--and those differences have an awful lot to do with the variety OF life !! And, it is in the joy that variety in life brings-- that the enjoyment OF life and the sense of adventure and "newness" of life's experiences exists !!
Mental illness is when there are problems with a person functioning within the world --- and that doesn't mean-- the kind of "problems" that we all have from time to time in coping or getting through--- they are the problems that seriously effect the way in which a person actually is able to live within society and the world about them !!!

The top 10 things in my opinion that drive the world into insanity are;
Drugs
Religion
Politics
Greed
Superficial People
Materialistic People
Obsession With The Past
Body Image
Uneducated Parenting
Physical, Sexual & Emotional Abuse

Consider yourself correct. I've often wondered about that myself, but everyone has at one point experienced all of the things you've listed. In reality there is no normal, but in many way people can feel that way when comparing themselves to others. I mean, why else would English contain a word?

There is no normal, just the pretense of living up to standards that were set by society. As you noted, everyone has problems, or as the saying goes "their own cross to bear".
The older I get the more I see that messed up is actually normal.

I think a lot of those things you've listed can be categorised as being the norm.
Mentally sick should be reserved for those who truly have a psychological problem.

Everyone experiences all of these things at some point. It's the degree to which it extends that determines "mental illness".

yes...but this also makes me wonder if some mental disorders are even disorders being that everyone is different and if everyone is different how do they decide what normal is
