Interviewee (Journalist)
Interviewer: Thank you so much for being here
Interviewee: Thank you for having me
Interviewer: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do.
Interviewee: I’ve been a journalist for over 20 years now. I’ve always been fascinated with mental illness and I had these questions burning in my head. Were some people cognitively vulnerable than others? What are the causes of mental illness? Since then I’ve been researching, visiting hospitals, interviewing psychiatrists and doctors around the world writing articles about it on the internet and magazines.
Interviewer: So what are your opinions on mental illness?
Interviewee: After extensive amount of research and interviews with some …show more content…
Interviewee: Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying. Mental Illness is not a disease; diseases by definition are the malfunctions of our human body such as our liver, our heart, the brain. Leukemia is a disease, Depression is not. Feeling sorry for yourself and being sad all the time is not a disease, it’s what everyone goes through at some point in their life.

Interviewer: It is completely normal for a person to feel depressed and feel lost at some point in our life. However in the eyes of a psychiatrist it would be seen as a mental dysfunction, diagnose it as major depression and lead us to believe that there is something wrong with our brain.

Interviewee: The answer is actually very simple, money.

It doesn’t matter what disorders the patients are diagnosed with as long as they are prescribed with pills. . It’s easy
