Equating disorder with illness

cbinetti- I need help editing my edit. I got rid of the equation of mental disorders with mental illness. But I am having trouble with the Itlaics and boldface. So please do not revert this, but make the format the way it is supposed to be. Cbinetti (talk) 21:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

The sources we have appear to treat these terms as synonyms, and Misplaced Pages should follow what the sources do. - MrOllie (talk) 21:33, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

They are not synonymous. The elite associations make these decisions without asking actually disabled people. They are not the same thing. This stigamtizes mentally disordered people like me who are not mentally ill. They are not synonyms but separate things. Are you a professional editor? Why is your opinion more valid that a person being stigmatized by this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbinetti (talk • contribs) 21:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

As I just stated, Misplaced Pages follows what the reliable sources do, such as the Mayo Clinic, already cited in the article. This isn't about my opinion, or about yours. If you want to draw such a distinction, you must cite a reliable source that does so. - MrOllie (talk) 21:39, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Almost of the people who write about this is journals are non-disabled. How am I goign to find "a rleiable source" when none of the decision makers have the experience of mental disability or disorder? There is a huge difference between someone who is mentalyl disabled ro disorder and someone who is mentally illCbinetti (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)cbinetti

If you have no reliable sources, you will not be able to make the changes you seek. Misplaced Pages isn't the place to change the medical establishment or the language they use, we follow here, we don't lead. - MrOllie (talk) 22:24, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
