"Kant's Anthropologie contains his classification of mental diseases and his observation, which would later prove invaluable, that the period of puberty was of critical significance in the development of mental illness. Kant ascribed mental illness to organic brain dysfunction, but also suggested that it could result from maladaption to the environment"- Norman 1201.
