The Mind outside the Mind
What determines if a person is mentally ill and what determines
if the person is not? According to the various individuals the
definitions are all different, however if a persons thinking
process is off balance you are more than likely going to find a
mental illness, regarding if it is revolving around a physical
cause.
The mind has played tricks on even the so-called sane
individuals in the world. When the mind creeps in suspicions,
loss of thought, inability to say what is on your mind, and so
on. More than likely you are fine, however if these symptoms are
ongoing you had better get help now. The experts in Social
Scientist often interchange the terms mentally ill and disorders
since one term means that a patient has a disturbance in normal
patterns and the other means that a patient will need ongoing
treatment for the disturbances.
We cannot always rely on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM) for the definition of mentally ill
simply because the book is in constant change as APA members
find new information each year. Most information in the book is
valuable but every year new studies are finding out more about
each diagnosis. Researchers and analyst often base their insight
on gender, race, background, class, and so on, as well as
comparing mental illnesses to several case studies. According to
criminal justice experts, the mentally ill is found in homeless
environments and/or jail. However, this is far from the truth,
since we have cops, lawyers, judges, political leaders,
religious leaders, painters, actors, actresses and others in the
neighborhood going to jail, and even sometimes homeless.
Mentally ill in definition is someone that is not conforming to
the way a group thinks, believes, acts et cetera. This means if
you do not go along with the laws and political leaders' beliefs
or societies' beliefs then you may be deemed the mentally ill.
According to many experts in the field of psychology, criminal
system, and so on, mentally ill patients were abused and
disassociated from society at one time and often confined in a
jail like institution and the authorities were the crooks inside
the hospital.
This is dehumanizing, punishing, and individual simply because
they are said to have a mental illness. Corrupted systems bring
forth corrupted people, therefore their examples has brought on
more problems than what we all needed. The criminal experts,
mental health experts, and others are constantly making grave
mistakes throughout there studies and often everyone suffers,
yet the blame is turned on the patients and others in society.
Denial! Since we all have equal rights and it was a violation of
these peoples' rights in the early days when mentally ill
patients were institutionalize and sometimes for no apparent
cause, at all it is vital to undo what has been done by acting
human and giving these people a status in life.
Mentally ill patients are often brilliant individuals that
suffer from a disorder. A few mentally ill patients will commit
crimes, but not all of them will. For example, a woman suffers
retardation, yet she hates the way the world submits to bile,
such as pornographic, excessive violence, rape, nudity, and
other areas of discussed that is openly acknowledged in the
world as impure behaviors, yet the system will allow it. Now who
is really retarded? Obviously not the woman since she hates what
is wrong. Another case scenario can be seen when a mentally ill
individual is out in public and someone needs help, including
lifting groceries and this person will help, while another
person without a mental illness will disregard the need of the
pedestrian.
Now who is mentally ill? The person that was not willing to
help is probably affected by the unlawfully teachings that go on
in society, in the justice system and in the political world,
and due to his or her fear or else selfish behaviors this person
illustrated more mentally ill symptoms than the diagnosed person
illustrated. My point is, mentally ill are often wiser to the
truth than those that are said to not be mentally ill, and the
mentally ill are often showing humanity while the rest of the
world is dehumanizin
