We do not do your work for you. I searched Google under the key words "mental illness definition" to get these possible sources:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&defl=en&q=define:mental+illness&ei=VT2ASt7rEYXCNbbJ-d0C&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title
http://www.bu.edu/cpr/reasaccom/whatis-psych.html

For your other questions, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
