In reply to Mental Illness or Emotionally Disturbed?, posted by Cynthia on March 9, 2000, at 18:35:20
It is kind of like using two terms from different "languages" that come out of different "cultures".
Mental Illness is more or less a term coming out of the medical or psychiatric field.
Emotionally Disturbed is a term used by the educational establishment to "code" a child as needing special services.
