Mental illness essay

Hi everyone this is the one and only blue crow. I have to write about mental illness for a project so here it is.
I don’t think there will ever be a cure for mental diseases. I mean when your born what your given is what you have for the rest of your life. You could be the best at math but be horrible in social studies. Life is like a big poker game you get the cards you get and hopefully don’t get a bad hand.

Less percent of homeless cause of being more gifted people. There would be more room for people who can’t afford the operation. Less accidents cause more people would have common sense not to light a match and drop it. More people living cause with a high IQ they can make a lot of money so they don’t have to worry about going poor.

We wouldn’t have lives ruin cause of taking care of the mentally ill people. What I mean by that is if they take care of a relative what will happen if he or she dies. The mentally illed person wouldn’t know who to survive on his or hers own. Taking care of a person with a mental disease could cost a lot of money and they might have to file for bankruptcy. Besides its unnatural and it’s like Adam and Eve but with an operation.

Most people believe in a thing called fate or destiny. They can have parents that are very smart and have no family record of mental illness. Or they could be in a family that is dumb and has a record of mental illness. Then again this is only my opinion but I call them like I see them.

Please help if you can.

Re: Mental illness essay

well there are "cures" for a number of mental illnesses... so I'm not sure where you're going with this...

I also wasn't entirely clear on what you meant with your second paragraph... "Less percent of homeless cause of being more gifted people." what does that mean? and common sense and IQ have nothing to do with Mental Illness... so I don't know what they have to do with your project...

not sure if that's the kind of help you wanted, but having been taking Psychology for a number of years now, those seemed like some rather stark errors to me... not to mention a number of glaring spelling and grammar mistakes...

Are you saying here that this is what would happen if mental illness was cured? If so, you migh want an into sentance stating that.

Just so you know mental illness does not equate to being dumb. Mental illness can be a simple as feeling down for a time to as severe as suicidal or schizophrenia

One hint when writing try reading what you've written out loud

Good getting your thoughts out go over it again for clarity and expand some of the ideas.

Well the story is about a guy with a iq of 68. which is mentally challanged. He gose in a operation which triples his iq. Which makes him hell of a lot smarter. But at the end he gose back to being at 68. Supossely i have to list the good things that would happen if there was a cure. And list bad things for if there was a cure and if there wasent a cure.

people on the streets may have mental illnesses, but it is a small percentage... most of the homeless are as mentally healthy as anyone else... the majority of those with a mental illness you would never know about... they hold down jobs, have families and lead normal lives.... it is only a small amount of people who have a break and require intensive psychiatric treatment...

... and as for a person with a low IQ, that is mental retardation... they are mentally challenged or slow... that is not a mental illness...
they are not hospitalized, they may simply require some volunteer helpers occasionally if they have minor difficulities... they are not mentally ill by any means, just a little slower than the average person....

I would honestly recommend researching your topic if this project is worth a lot of your final grade... it's a really interesting field anyway

In my personal, non-insultive opinion, it needs some work... And it may have spellcheck, but not grammer check.

Flowers for Algernon! I love that story What was the guys name again? Charlie I think.
I think you'll get some points for talking about the change in a persons social life and how every level of intelligence has its problems. Then end by saying that if there was a cure maybe we could get President Bush some help :lol:

Oh I love the part where he asks the teacher to punctuate these words

That that is is that that is not is not

Very well made points. There is indeed a biiiig difference between mental illness and mental retardation. And homeless people are just people who are ... unlucky, most often. The fact that most of them "seem" wierd in all is because their only escape from their lives are often drugs and alcohol.

Someone with a mental illness however, he is that office worker you never suspect of anything like it - until that day he went shooting up the office.

Also, I'd like to say that I sorta agree with there being no "cure", in some cases. Sure, there are drugs that fix the problem but once the person is off those drugs, the problems return. It is like cancer, there might be drugs and treatments which delay the whole thing but we don't have a cure.

Besides its unnatural and it’s like Adam and Eve but with an operation.

Uhm... what?

Did you ever read the bible? If you did you would know the story about adam and eve. I am saying if there was a cure for mental illnes it would be unatrual. Cause you were born with knowledge that your goona have for the rest of you life. Ak gets rep for reading a very good story and telling me the chacter"s name. Anyway my teacher didnt give us opitons about reserch:'( So i had to use my limited knowledge of mental illness"s. So i am screwed good thing is only worth 40 points and i got a 17 and a 19 out of 20 for the other two questions.

Re: Mental illness essay

The Bible eh? Well, I am sorta anti-Bible actually. In my opinion it is the most successful use of propaganda in the history of mankind, but that's for another time and another topic...

And what you are saying sounds kinda like those insane "christian doctors" who do nothing for their patients but to pray for God to heal their patients - and we know that aint happening.

Who cares if it is "unnatural"? It will make this person's life alot better.

I am neutral about the process. I fell bad for the parents and stuff and i fell ashamed that people in my school make fun of kids that our special.

P.S. I cant spell any of the mental illness but austim.

I agree... to say that medical intervention, if one were to even believe it were neccessary in the case of the mentally challenged (and I'm not saying I do), would be unnatural would call into question the rest of medical science as well... everything from vaccinations to heart transplants to antibiotics... those are all things that you were not given at birth and with that rationale if you're meant to have that happen to you then you're meant to suffer through it... but our health care system isn't built on those beliefs... thankfully...
