Is mental health just the absence of mental illness? Or is it something more ordinary than that?
Hmm I think that mental health is a bit more complicated than just the absence of any mental illness.
Do you think psychiatric treatment helps? Or is it often more damaging than helpful to patients?
To me, helping the mentally ill is a huge deal and there needs to be less negative stigma against people with mental illness.
Do you think the mentally ill are truly pinned with a stigma that distinguishes them from other members of society?
Absolutely, since people with mental illness are often too ashamed to admit to their family or friends that they need help because they'll think they're "crazy".
If someone's psychological state is not functioning at a satisfactory level, how would you have people interact with them?
Well mental illness isn't always something like schizophrenia, but someone with depression can easily interact with people normally, but they still need psychiatric help.
