Yeaheahea, no. Having a mental illness, in a great many cases, is an inherently negative thing for the person in question. Many learn to live with it, but they still often cause problems when interacting with the people around them, which isn't (always) the person in question's fault. The point is- when a person like this, who has hampered communication skills, didn't get the proper treatment early on, they turn into "that loser who never grew past thinking /b/ was cool".

Just because he's a vile person doesn't mean you should dismiss their mental illness if they have one. That just makes his behaviour spiral further out of control rather than looking to actually finding a solution so they can start acting like a reasonable human being.
