Chances are we have all met someone that is stubborn, stubborn to the point where there is no use in talking to them.

Examples - the lunar landing being faked, hollow earth theory, world being flat,,,,,.

Should the people that justify those types of beliefs be considered mentally ill?

What about people who refuse to cooperate?

Lets say you are part of a team that has to work together on a project. One of the team members refuses to do anything. Its not just on that project, but everything the person is asked to do, they refuse to do "anything" to help out.

If you ask them why they are not helping, they blame someone else for their actions.

Having played team based sports, I never understood people who "refuse" to work as a team. Do they act that way because they are selfish, self-centered, mentally ill or something else?

Just because someone is wrong, doesn't mean they're mentally ill. Also, it will become too easy for ones to power to label their opposition as mentally ill (see communist propaganda in USSR, or how homosexuals were incriminated by Nazi Germany).
