Outside of individuals who can't function at a MVP level(running around naked biting people, throwing poop, etc.), the definition of a mentally ill person is a person who believes that they have a mental illness. Other cultures might have a witch doctor in place of a licensed psychiatrist but the phenomenon of mentally ill people seeking help from non-scientific 'experts' remains consistent.
