Or, perhaps it was something Wendy T. said? Your statement above is a bit brief. If I hit my thumb with a hammer (physical thing), I will have a reaction-- like anger (pain) or learning(won't do that again) ((mental thing)). PD is a physical thing--but is inseperable from how it affects daily life, which has many aspects. Gotta have the mental/spiritual guts to cope--many fine examples on this list, (no matter what religion). It is hard to express some of this without more background and won't bother now. I apologize for any confusion. Like Wendy, trying to respect all views. -- ............................................................................................
