 Mental illnesses can be classified as “empirical evils” if we assume that they have empirical causes and neural bases (Bhattacharjee 2018). Such illness often generates further empirical evil in the form of inexplicably cruel or destructive behavior to self and others, as will be familiar to anyone who has tried to live (or love someone) with mental illnesses like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and so on. It is unclear whether the theologians just mentioned would want to say that this kind of empirical evil, too, must have its ground in the divine by way of exemplification. The theological consequences of such a suggestion seem unattractive, to say the least.
