Q. "What are the most common traits of nearly all forms of mental illness?"
A. Nearly all sufferers lack flexibility - to be able to change your opinion or course of action, even if shown clear evidence you are wrong,
Satiability - the ability to feel satisfaction if you actually get what you said you wanted, and to transfer your strivings to other goals.
Extrapolation - an ability to realistically assess possible consequences of your actions and to empathize, or guess how another person might think or feel.
This answer crosses all boundaries of culture, age and language
When a person is adaptable and satiable, capable of realistic planning and empathizing with his fellow beings, those problems that remain turn out to be mostly physiochemical or behavioral.
What is more this definition allows a broad range of deviations from the norm - the very sort of eccentricities suppresses under olde worldviews
