Topic: What is Mental Health?
Thesis: It is important to have fiction books to learn from them especially about illnesses that play a big role in today's society. For example social anxiety and depression, which is not widely taught or really accepted, to understand and get a new perspective on new situations. The general argument made by the Each Mind Matters California's Mental Health Movement in this article called, ¨ what is mental health?¨ is that anyone can have a mental illness.

More specifically ,that having a mental illness is not okay and if they admit to having one they will be treated differently and like something is seriously wrong with them when it is in fact more common than we think.
