Elders were always afraid to touch the excuse of "mental illness".

As a child, I was sick all the time, I found many ways to get a thermometer to read 100 deg., 99 deg. wasn't enough to stay home and over 101 deg. could require a Doctor. If I would have used my smarts on continuing my education, rather than getting out of spending time with that Cult, imagine where I would be today.

Elders are afraid of female "problems" too.

When I first started working, I missed a meeting once because of work and was told that I should quit my job because it was interfering with my meeting attendence. So, I kept the job and ended up quitting the meetings instead! But, at the end, no one questioned my missing any of the meetings and service. They have never bothered to try to get me back. It's been more than 25 years.
