Keeping your body healthy is important for many people as it is a way to make sure that the body will respond to the things that happen around the person in the right way. The way we think should also be right and our mental health should be taken care of.

There are many types of disorders under mental health. Thus there is a big risk for anyone to experience at least one disorder. But most of these disorders can be minor. Once it is solved, it may not affect the way that a person lives. However, if a person does not act right away, his mental health may turn weak and the simple disorder may turn into a life threatening one. Mental health disorders may consist of childhood sicknesses, anxiety, cognitive or personality of an individual.

To put an end in most mental health disorders, the patient must consult with a doctor or a therapist. By which he will be given the right medications so that his body will function normally and his line of thinking will also be correct. Also, therapy through talking to other people will be a big help for the person to think rightly and accept the situation that he is really in.

Commonly question about Facts About Mental Health Disorders

Question :

What is the general public s veiw on mental health disorders?

I am a mental health nursing student and I qualify next year. I always thought in this day and age that people had a decent knowledge of mental health illnesses. However, since being at university I have realised that is not correct. Many people are still ignorant or prejudiced towards mental health illness and out of those who are not they still do not know the facts about mental health disorders, just hear say. This is on a Global scale and not just a personal level. For example America does not let people into the country if they have sever mental health illnesses, even if that person is not a threat to their safety or other peoples. I find this very upsetting as my colleagues who work in medical nursing do not have the same problem with ignorance and prejudice towards their patients.
I ve found that the media have not helped educate people on this topic as they can cause as much damage as help.
I was wondering what peoples general opinion or knowledge on mental health is, where they get their information from (if they are not a sufferer themselves or a carer of someone who is) and how they think they could be educated on this topic?

Answer :
I have schizophrenia and the majority of people don t know it. Yet the media are pretty much saying that all schizophrenics are paranoid, murderous criminals. Before I was diagnosed, I was doing well at University and making friends, after I was diagnosed I felt ashamed because of the public s opinion of mental health disorders. Now I m too scared to go out without my parents (I m 22) and I can t keep the friends I ve got. I don t want to go back to University as I m scared that people will find out my secret and judge me for it.

It s the media that enforces these opinions. What doesn t the media influence? After all, girls see pretty, skinny models in magazines and they want to be skinny. In the Jo Yeates case, the media hyped up the questioning of her landlord and now even though another guy s been arrested and charged with her murder, everyone thought that the landlord was responsible and wanted to hang him!

The best way to partially end the prejudice is to make a documentary about Schizophrenics that gets the attention of the public. Big Fat Gypsy Weddings made a stir within the general population and I believe that many people s prejudices against the Gypsy community were quashed. We need a Big Fat Schizophrenic Wedding documentary to educate the general public!!!

There are adverts on at the minute that are aiming to end mental health discrimination but I find one of them insulting. I personally think a documentary would be a much better idea to educate. And if anyone s got questions on schizophrenia, I m quite happy to answer, so long as they re not judging me for having it!

Question :

Can you name all of my disorders and mental health "problems"?

Okay. This is how i currently act. I do not abide by the law. I speed over a hundred miles per hour each day because i think its fun. I go to college to learn things. I do not care much about money. I do not want to get married, i m not religious and i do not wish to get married because that s like a lie. Also i do not want to get married because i ll feel "tied down." I m not exactly sure about children, but i m leaning towards the no side of that.I respect/hate people for who they are and not what they look like. I do not care for an emotional appeal, I like facts and reasoning thrown at me. I ve broken the law many times before. I love "adrenaline rushes." I do not care what others think of me. I do not like "dressing up," formal things and I hate uncomfortable clothing.I love to exercise, eat natural foods, play video games, paint "fine art" and hang out with people who genuinely honest and have a positive attitude. I do not feel as if i need a girlfriend but if a "cool" girl, that i also like, wants to be a girlfriend, great. I always feel like i must be doing something relaxing (like sleeping), creating something (like a painting) or teaching someone something. If not, I get extremely bored.I usually get angry when i feel as if i m being manipulated. Other than that, I m usually happy and life couldn t be "better" for me. Of course, that s my opinion.

Answer :
Although a diagnosis is impossible in this forum, some of what you say here seems to point to "Antisocial Personality Disorder." That s the DSM IV new way of describing a sociopath.

I encourage you to meet with a professional, maybe take the MMPI to get some direction on whether or not you are just a self-absorbed jerk (no offense) or someone suffering from a disorder.

Good luck!
