Yes, certain mental illnesses, such as paedophilia, clinical depression and any psychological disorder which may represent a danger to the public. For instance those applying for jobs which involve being in charge of a public service vehicle or any position which involves contact with children should have their mental disease placed openly in the public domain. Side: Yes
This is not exactly true, you can actually predict someone who is mentally disordered better than someone who you identify as 'normal' since no one is really normal and 'normal' people do unexpected things at random. People with disorders, on the other hand, tend to behave in a specific set of patterns that make them easier to predict. Side: No

Why does it defeat the meaning of reason? What is your argument that someone being mentally ill can never mean someone who is highly intelligent? And what about causality - if people do mentally suffer, shouldn't the reasons why they suffer be publicly identified too? Side: Yes
