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 dehumanizing. Learning therapeutic strategies in mental
health can help us find answers to the many questions on mental illnesses.
