When I was a university student I suffered from generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. It was a hard period of my life, but after all - also very enriching.
After few years I started to think about mental disorders from the perspective of a graphic designer. My "personal quest" was to catch the essence of disorders by typography. I was able to visualize many of them, except the one I was struggling with.

This is an uneducated misconception about Tourette's (which isn't even spelled correctly). Thank you for exacerbating an already frustrating stereotype. Seriously, if one is to create a project like this, consider researching the subject matter.
Mayo clinic defines mental illness or disorders as something that affects someone's mood, behavior, or thinking. Considering that Alzheimer's has affected all three in my Mother I would agree that those disorders belong on his list.
These are pretty cool, but I don't think Alzheimer's or Parkinson's should be on this list, they aren't "mental illnesses" in the same sense as the rest. And all the other ones are treatable, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are degenerative.
Inappropriate to include all of these as Mental Disorders – made worse by the complete lack of understanding of the conditions/disorders, which have been taken at face value (coupled with poor spelling)
Parkinson's is a nervous system/movement disorder..not a mental illness.
some of them are spelled wrong on purpose =)
