At base this is a philosophical question but.
I don't think normal neuronal functioning is having illusions, OCD, severe depression etc
I believe, at base, everyone is born with a generally similaiar neuronal make up...but some have a stronger, more resiliant neuronal make-up, if you get my gist (just as others are taller, shorter, have broader shoulders etc)
These beings are fortunate in that their stronger neuronal make-up is the genisis for resisting changes in their biochemistry when a trauma occurs
the persons with a less robust, 'stronger glued together' biochemical make up (of the brain) are not so lucky...they are just waiting for a trauma to set of abnormal changes, whether it be abberant firing, re-uptake pump changes, ionic transport across membrane....blah blah blah
