Question 1: Discuss the view that a combination of different criteria (statistical
infrequency, violation of moral standards etc.) is needed to distinguish normal from
abnormal behaviour. Refer to issues relating to culture and time.
Mental illness is primarily considered as an illness of human mind, which thereby makes
it highly difficult for the people towards carrying out a highly normal as well as productive
lifestyle. The mental illnesses in humans range from depression at an early stage towards
schizophrenia (a highly serious disorder of mind). It is highly important to keep in mind that the
people suffering such disorders ate stricken towards an illness. These people have almost no
control on their disorder and illness compared to the person getting infected by flu or a cold.
When we are sick with a fever, cold or flu we would usually try as well as treat it with the over
the counter product from medical store or would go to a physicial.
A person suffering with any type of the mental disorder might go to the medical
practitioner, or visit a psychiatrist (i.e. a medical physician who primarily specializes in the cure
of mental problems through the process of therapy as well as medication) or towards the
psychologist (i.e. who cannot be considered as a medical practitioner, but who would treat
mental as well as emotional problems through various therapies). The patient might also consult
various other therapists, like the social worker of the psychiatric nurse.
In Health as well as the Science guide it has been said that the ongoing speculation along
with discoveries have been relating to the mental illnesses towards the chemical imbalances that
are primarily within the brain or in the human body. In the beginning of the year 1950's a highly
new range of the drugs were introduced in the market which allowed most of people suffering
from mental illnesses which otherwise were required to be hospitalized for the treated outside of
the hospitals, and towards living much more regular and normal lives. Many other researchers
have shown that over the time that if that person has any such history towards their members of
the family who have suffered from mental illnesses; he or she might be more likely towards
contracting this illness. The present genetic researches would soon allow us towards better
controlling many of the frustrating mental illnesses.
Schizophrenia is considered as a disorder that could affect anyone globally. It can be
considered as the greatest disorder that would affect teenagers. When anyone has been suffering
through this disorder it is not only that one person suffering that would have to master towards
dealing with the disorder, the families of this patient would also be required to learn towards
dealing with it.
There have been many possible causes for this disorder with most of the doctors and
researchers believing that there has been more than single cause for the disorder. Chemical
imbalance in the brain has been considered as one of the major cause for this imbalance. There
could primarily be an imbalance towards the number of neurotransmitters and/or an imbalance in
the amount of the dopamine. The stress issue is not thought or diagnosed of as the direct cause of
Schizophrenia, however often makes these already present symptoms even worse. Some of the
doctors highly feel that the mental disorder Schizophrenia is primarily the result of the slow
acting virus as these symptoms could be delayed to many years after its first infection. One of
the other possible causes for this disorder is considered as the genetic disposition. However, this
has yet to be proven however it is considered of as a likely the cause since most children that
have a parent suffering with this disorder primarily have a ten times greater tendency towards
developing this illness compared to the...
