MENTAL ILLNESSHSP
Definition
Mental Illness is a disturbance in thoughts and emotions that decreases a person’s capacity to cope with the challenges of everyday life
Frances Galton Quote
“If genius means a sense of inspiration, or rushes of ideas from apparently supernatural sources, or of an inordinate and burning desire to accomplish any particular end, it is perilously near to the voices heard by the insane, their delirious tendencies… it cannot in such cases be a healthy facility, nor can it be desirable to perpetuate it by an inheritance”From Hereditary Genius, 1869
Changing Views of Mental Illness -Middle Ages
Belief: abnormal behaviour caused by evil spirits in the body
Treatment: exorcism used at religious ceremonies to cast out evil spirits ; praying, fasting, witch hunts
18th Century
Belief: those who behaved abnormally should be removed from society
Treatment: confined to asylums and kept in chains
19th Century
Belief: those who have serious mental disorders should be confined to institutions where they could receive treatment, less serious disorders treated on an “outpatient” basis
Treatment: solitary confinement, psychotherapy
20th Century
Belief: many people with mental illness can be treated successfully and live normal lives
Treatment: drug treatment, psychotherapy, counseling, treat as “outpatients” wherever possible, integration in society and living as normal a life as possible is the goal
Factors That May Contribute to the Development of Mental Illness
brain chemistry
heredity
traumatic life events
substance abuse (may bring it out but seldom causes it)
