*sigh* once again my skill of being able to see both sides comes into play...

While I personally think it'll be impossible to write up what qualifies as a "normal" person, I can see what Arukih is getting at. When someone starts seeing things that aren't there, starts becoming paranoid despite no good reason, starts hurting themselves & other self destructive things, that's when they fall further away from the "Normal" label. The way I see it, Psychologists help those who can't get a firm enough grip on reality to help themselves or to even start hurting people around them, possibly even themselves. Those kind of people aren't able to be labeled "normal" at all. Then again, what's "normal" for one person might be completely absurd to another. Good luck to anyone taking on the impossible task of writing up what is "Normal".

Oh, sorry, you can write a list of what a "Normal" person is, as long as you aren't to specific. I'm guessing the best you'll get is "Breathing, eating, drinking, dumping waist body products...
