(University of Helsinki) Schizophrenia is considered an illness by nearly all Finns, while grief and homosexuality are not.

In a study carried out with a Finnish dataset, researchers looked into which mental conditions from a group of 20 were considered illnesses and which were not by five different groups of people.
