Mental Illness is very real

[Willoughbyva]

It also has to do with our social roles in society nowdays. Maybe people used to be sick and they worked in a factory. Seldom did they come into contact with others and could work their day with little problems. Now that we are moving away from old fashioned factory work people have to start comming into contact with others much more than in the past. I used to work in a factory and can tell you that some of the people there were way out of the normal range.

It is hard with all the pressures that come with living in todays society to change lifestyle. Plus there are those out there that really are sick. Some people don't have medical insurance and can't afford the medications and then there are those who don't want to be on medicine.

Mental illness is being reported more now days because more people are aware of what abnormal behavior is.

i am not saying that ppl who suffer are psychosematic... i am saying that i do not believe that all of a sudden an entire generation of ppl have a high number of mental problems. I think it has to do with the foods we eat, the pressures of the almighty dollar, what we are doing to the environment and some of it is also political.

I agree. I think many people look towards pills for a solution when a stressful lifestyle and poor eating habits can make people mentally unstable. It is very complex.

I don't think so, I think people have always been mentally fvcked up, just look at all these dictators and cruel leaders. Nero comes to mind.

Now we have better techniques to deal with these things. Humans are complex animals and trauma causes a lot of damage to the personality.

Mental Illness is very real, those that have been stricken with it our had to deal with it in their family one way or another understand. It is very much a disease, a person is sick...very sick. It has been frowned upon by society for a long time and in the last 15 years we are only just beginning to understand it.

So the only real reason for this post is mental illness is a sick person, and that person needs help. It just doesn't "go away" and people can't just "snap out of it" and it is hereditary.

Let's do the best we can to help those who are sick, because without treatment they are forever ill.
