Harm in mental disorders

Harm has been a recurring notion in psychiatry, especially in the context of the discussion on mental disorders. This work goes towards building an account of harm that could be used in that context. I offer preliminary considerations and ideas on harm as lack of the (right) resources in dealing with the problems of living. Drawing an analogy from bodily medicine I show how an account of harm in psychiatry might work in a similar way and I offer some preliminary desiderata on constructing such an account.
