UNASSIGNED: It has become common to say @entity146 illnesses are @entity75 . This reflects a conception of the mental as being biologically based, though it is also thought that thinking of @entity146 this way will reduce the stigma attached to @entity146 . If @entity146 illnesses are @entity75 , however, it is not clear why psychiatry should not collapse into neurology, and some argue for this course. Others try to maintain a distinction by saying that neurology deals with @entity2526 while psychiatry deals with specific @entity6314 . It is not clear that neurologists would accept this division, nor that they should. I argue that if we take seriously the notion that @entity146 illnesses are mental illnesses we can draw a more defensible boundary between psychiatry and neurology. As mental illnesses, @entity146 illnesses must have symptoms that affect our mental capacities and that the sufferer is capable of being aware of, even if they are not always self-consciously aware of them. @entity16 , such as @entity64 or @entity15 , may be diagnosed even if they are silent, just as the @entity1 may not be aware of having @entity101 or may suffer a silent @entity583 . It does not make sense to speak of @entity4697 if the @entity1 has never had a @entity4697 attack, however, or of @entity162 in the absence of @entity1316 . This does not mean @entity146 illnesses are not biologically based. Mental illnesses are illnesses of @entity1 , whereas other illnesses are illnesses of biological individuals.
