> nothing noble or innocent about being selfish and stubborn
Are you saying that people deliberately choose to be "selfish and stubborn" to the point of getting killed, and yet this is not a form of mental illness?
Um, yes? If you think being selfish and stubborn qualifies as a mental illness, I suggest you go talk to a professional psychologist. I'm quite sure they'll disagree. People do stupid and reckless stuff all the time (esp. 16-25yo males as the other commenter pointed out); that doesn't make them mentally ill.
