Antisocialists Mental Illness

Improved Essays
In all honesty when I do think of those who possibly have some sort of mental illness; I think that they’re in their own world, they are antisocialists because they believe that others are different than them. They act awkward when it comes to interacting with others in an abnormal way I’d say; mainly because they may fear what others may think of them. Some behaviors I would think would be lying, controlling, and aggressive. But I do also believe that these behaviors are as a result of substance abuse, or were not raised properly, and if surrounded in disorganized most occurring crime area. If an individual is severely mentally ill then they have neurological deficits. I do remember a person who had bipolar disorder she had an extreme anger

    While the role of the law is to maintain order and achieve justice, often times, such as in cases involving mental illness, the operation of justice can involve ethical, legal, social, and medical issues which creates arguments about the balance of rights relating to effective treatment and lack of insight. Many of these issues arise when the subject of involuntary detention and treatment of mentally ill persons is discussed. Mentally ill people suffer from some of the greatest challenges of any socially disadvantaged groups, which is partially due to overlap with other groups, but largely due to problems specific to the mentally ill. This includes prejudice from the public resulting in stigmatisation. Stigmatisation of mental illness leads to the propagation of myths and falsehoods, such as the widely held view that mentally ill persons…

    Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, addressed the issue of mental illness by saying, “At the root of this dilemma is the way we view mental health in this country. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg, or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distinction.” In America, most people view mentally ill entities differently than someone with an illness in their heart or any other body part. It’s seen as more extreme if someone has a mental issue and they are categorized as abnormal and strange. In the novel Of Mice of Men, Lennie has mental problems that affect his nervous system and mental capacity.…

    Many African-Americans have a hard time recognizing the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, which lead to underestimating the effects and impact of mental health conditions. Too often people may think of depression as "the blues" or just “being sad” and something to snap out of. Because of the lack of information surrounding mental health issues, it's not always clear where to find help when you may need it. Education about the very real mental disorders and the treatment process is critical to reducing barriers to treatment among the African-American community (Williams, 2011).…

    Beyond the absurd appearance that often corresponds to mentally ill characters, oftentimes those with mental illnesses are demonstrated as acting nonsensical and with behaviors that border on comical. In my introduction, I described a scene from the movie Mommie Dearest, in which a mentally ill mother realizes that her daughter is using wire hangers to hang her dresses and has a mental breakdown, ripping clothing from the closet and savagely beating her daughter. Throughout the duration of this scene, all the mother can screech about is the fact that the daughter is using wire hangers. The reaction of this mother seems ridiculous, with all this fuss over a simple wire hanger, and this sort of outrageous response makes people shake their heads…

    The definition of mental illness is as follows: “A condition which causes serious disorder in a person’s behavior or thinking” (Oxford Dictionary). Within John Steinbeck’s famous story, Of Mice and Men, the character Lennie suffers from a mental disability, which ultimately leads to his death. In a similar way, millions of people suffer from a form of mental illness, and are often are not treated for their disorders, which frequently ends in a form of tragedy for the individual. Often, those around them are uninformed on the subject and they either become bystanders to the individual’s downfall, or treat the person as an ill-mannered idiot. Within some countries, such as the United States of America, the nation’s leaders are trying to bring their societies out of these “dark ages,” and give the current and following generations the education they require on this subject.…
