Why are some people evil ?

Or maybe you haven't found out about mental illness
You're right. Belief in God does not cure mental illness, or any illness for that matter. That is why Baha'is are instructed to seek the help of a competent physician.

Just for the record, I don't have mental illness. In fact, my counselor doesn't even think I need to be in counseling, but she still sees me once a month since she knows I need to talk. I do have anxiety, but who wouldn't have anxiety after suddenly losing their husband of 37 years and having to care for 3 houses and 8 cats without any help from family or friends?

That's a contradictory response.
What's contradictory about it?
I'm sorry it turned out like that to you. Why do you think God won't cure you?
I don't have any disease so there is nothing to cure, but if I was sick why should God cure me?

God could cure anyone He wants to cure, and maybe He has cured some people, but obviously God doesn't cure everyone as evidenced by the fact that many God-fearing people pray for help and it is not usually forthcoming. I guess the God you believe in plays favorites.

What's the drive for a human being or human beings to be hateful and mean for no reason or no good reason ?
What constitutes evil is completely subjective. Some of the most evil people in the world are people who feel their views are justified and necessary
