Abstract
This paper explores the complex relationship between mental illness and character flaws, using the Lorena Bobbitt case as a starting point to challenge the notion that these two concepts are synonymous. By defining mental illness as a biological dysfunction and character flaws as maladaptive behaviors rooted in social contexts, this essay distinguishes between the two. It examines their causes, diagnostic methods, treatments, and implications in the legal system. The analysis highlights the importance of differentiating between mental illness and character flaws to ensure fair treatment and effective intervention within both clinical and legal frameworks.
