I do not operate that precisely within the different terms for different types of spychoses. I just remember that schizoprhenia is quite misunderstood by the masses and that it is not the typical thing portrayed in movies - that that type of schizophrenia is very rare.
However, I see most people as borderline mental patients. They seem so 'normal' on the outside cause they keep themselves together by being busy or distracting themselves. When they are alone and have nothing to do and no TV to watch - this is where mental sanity should be measured. As far as I have observed, many get into weirdly imbalanced emotional states in these cases.
The difference between those at sorcery and the 'normals' is that we know a lot more about our mental state. We know where we stand and what we need to work on and where our soft spots are = we are more aware. This is our strength.. one that 'normals' do not tend to have. If you know that if you put the weight of your body on a certain limb at a certain agle that you might crash to the pavement then you are careful when you have to put pressure on it and take care not to fall, you also implement some exercises to strengthen these parts of your body - if you are smart. Therefore awareness is crucial. Normals either dont know or do not find the time/energy/need to strengthen / heal their weak parts.
Or they can think something is a weak part that is not - again due to lack of awareness.

this is surely an option. other option also is that the mentally ill just got stuck in an AP that is not that great for us humans. I saw this happen a few times due to drug use. AP becomes displaced and moved somewhere and the person cannot get back. Mental breakdown, incapability to function in a healthy or at least usual way...
everyone i know who has some kind of psychological diagnosis (not going into personality splits and such heavy stuff) or problem has taken drugs in the past or still is. by drugs I mean psychedelics and even harder drugs. People with panic atacs, anxieties, manic/ depressions...
saying it is about kundalini is a very optimistic way of looking at it.
But I am not sure where your definition of mental illness begins. Maybe you do not count social anxiety or panic attacks as an illness yet.
