Mental illness is not a violation. It is a condition that can be treated. The causes can be from social traits, past history and maybe the bad things that may have happened earlier in life.

that statement is false
Labelling theorist tend to see mental illness is the result of self-fulfilling phropecy.
The labelling theorists based their assumption that people had the tendency to label/classify every body with a certain things. Some people, often label themselves as a failure, useless, or more important than they actually are that could lead to psychological disorders if they truly believe it.
