I take a great interest in mental illnesses.
We're learning some about it in English and how most mental illness stories reflect how society is..etc. had some questions :) First, in todays world, do you have to be diagnosed with a mental illness to be hospitalized? or can you check yourself in? just coz? Second, do people still preform labotemies? (idk how to spell it). They used to do it a lot in the 1960s..and went in thru the eye sockets. If they still do it today, why? Third, do you feel like society today is "neglecting" mentally ill people? do you feel that this is why almost 1/3 or more of homeless people have a mental illness? Society has falsely promised help for these people, homes and hospitals are full and they have no where to go? Or is it just an excuse to be where they're at in life? Fourth, do you recommend any good books are movies about this stuff? i have read and watched Girl, Interrupted and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Fifth, do you feel that the routines some hospitals put on patients decrease their chances of being able to re-enter society? or do you feel that it helps them remain stable? ...err, i had more questions, but i have forgotten them. |

I've been working in the medical field for a long time and I have family with mental disabilities so I figured I would spend a little of my personal time responding here, as did others. On a messsage board, you get what you get and some people have a hard time appreciating the time people donate in giving opinions. No names mentioned. ;)
