Mental illness is one of those illnesses that seems to rarely be mentioned, however, it is affecting so many people. Society tries to make mental illness seem as though it is taboo – it is just something that people do not talk about. However, it should be the complete opposite of this. Many people suffer from mental illness in some way, shape or form and many people keep it hidden because they are embarrassed.
Mental illness can be in the form of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or a whole other host of illnesses. Each one offers different symptoms, but each one should be addressed and treated with care, and help should be offered when needed.
Furthermore, mental illness can make people more susceptible to drug and/or alcohol addiction – or addictions of other sorts, for that matter – making it even more important that it is properly maintained or treated.
