The standards of labeling states of being as "mental illness" is constantly changing, so I am not sure there is "more" now than there were. What we call some mental illnesses now were considered variations of personality/identity 50 years ago, and some things that were considered mental illness 50 years ago are now variations of personality/identity. If you remove the labels/names and categorizations of mental illnesses, you are left with just a planet full of a HUGE endless variety of people who are all incarnating for very personal reasons, and "mental illness" is a catalyst for learning and teaching. Whether there is "more" of it is hard to know because the standards are not static.
