Can lameness be equated to mental illness? i am using the word lame as a slang....
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Lame": Even as a "slang" term [such as "that's a lame idea, " etc] "lame" does not equate to mental illness. Lame there is like boring, dull, or uninspired. Lots of people can have "lame" ideas in that way, who are not mentally ill.
