The biggest problem is that mental illness is a very broad stroke. It's too difficult to sort out who is lying and who is not, but banning it's discussion altogether would make it impossible for us to know if a user has a illness that could affect the chat or unfairly affect them in chat -  something which we need to know about so we can effectively respond in a fair and just fashion. Covering the issue with rules isn't going to currently adress the problem; it will probably make it much worse.
