MYTH-1 - MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A REAL ILLNESS.

1]PHYSICAL ILLNESS ARE REAL-THERE ARE ORGANS INVOLVED, eg-LIVER KIDNEY,HEART,ETC

THESE ORGANS ARE FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY CAUSING THE ILLNESS AND TREATMENT EITHER MEDICAL OR SURGICAL TREATS THE CONCERNED DISORDER.

2] MENTAL ILLNESS ON THE OTHER HAND ARE VAGUE ,NO ORGAN IS INVOLVED AND THE PERSON NEEDS TO CHANGE HIS THINKING HIMSELF TO GET OUT OF IT.

FACT-MENTAL DISORDERS ARE AS REAL AS THEIR PHYSICAL COUNTERPARTS.

THE ORGAN INVOLVED IS THE BRAIN-NEUROTRANSMITTER DISTURBANCES ARE BEHIND 90 PERCENT MENTAL DISORDERS AND THEY CAN BE WELL TREATED WITH A COMBINATION OF PHARMACOTHERAPY,BEHAVIOUR THERAPY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY.

THEY CAN NOT BE TREATED BY SIMPLY ASKING THE PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT TO THINK POSITIVELY OR CHANGING HIS THOUGHTS-IT IS LIKE ASKING A STROKE PATIENT TO TREAT HIMSELF BY MOVING THE AFFECTED EXTREMITIES!
