I never thought he had mental illness. I don't think anybody even mentioned anything about mental illness when we read it in school. The way I remember it is Holden is a lonely cynical kid, and you know how they say that 'every cynic is a disillusioned idealist' or something, I thought he was kinda like that. Everyone was not kissing his ass so he decided they were phoney. But lbr everyone is a phoney in high school lol. And then he ran away, and interacted with 'the real world' and i guess eventually he made peace with the world not revolving around him. Huh, now that I wrote this it sounds like I should like this book. idk why I hated it so much at the time. Maybe cause I hated school. I should read it again.

Yeah, I don't think he has mental illness per se. But I still see him as a depressed, impulsive, disenchanted and utterly confused teenager. It's not really a book about "mental illness" but that doesn't mean Holden doesn't have problems rooted in his head. They aren't necessarily abnormal for a teenager, but still.
