    All “abnormal psychology” has differing physiological differences when compared to a “neurotypical” brain. Those definitions are super shakey though. Neurotypical, as you say, is a super fuzzy definition and has really changed drastically in modern history.

    And there are a shitload of people “a little bit schizophrenic”. You wouldn’t be able to tell though because the intensity, frequency, or persistence is not severe enough to affect thier life in an overwhelming manor. They have jobs, relationships, and can function in society.

    Some people are a little bit “whatever” with different mental disorders. Believing mental health issues are binary, either they have a “disorder” or are healthy is no longer part of modern abnormal phycology. They are now thought of as spectrums where people can fall onto that spectrum in very very different severities. That is why people use the word spectrum.
