The lack of general knowledge about mental illnessIn our world today, we generally have a poor understanding of mental illness in two distinct ways: we do not understand The dangers that mental illness can present to people in their daily lives, and we do not understand how to properly care for people who suffer from mental illness. However, if we better understand when, why, and how mentally ill people can become violent, and if we can better understand how to identify and treat the illnesses that these people suffer from, we can significantly improve the lives of many people. more about what some people with mental illness can actually do. Some of them may act deviantly and break informal social rules. For example, when a person has schizophrenia, they speak randomly in places where they are supposed to be silent because of their imagination. In addition, some mentally ill people are simply crazy and commit major crimes in violation of the law, shootings in schools or in public places. According to an article written by Adam Peck, “2014 got off to a deadly start: In the first 14 school days of the year, there were at least seven school shootings. For comparison, there were 28 school shootings in all of 2013, according to the gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action” (Peck, 1014). It seems impossible to prove that these tragedies affect a friend or family member, but statistics show that it happens far too often across the country. Most people don't realize the extent of the situation until they take it out on themselves or someone they care about. The laws may punish these types of criminals, but they do not compensate the families and friends who have been affected. Mentally ill people should probably have some restrictions middle of paper...... he attitudes of other people what you have towards them can be the cause that makes them act in a deviant way. If this is true, everything bad that mentally ill people do is caused by our society. Therefore, it would make sense for society to pay some costs in terms of taxes on what it has created. To summarize, I feel like our society doesn't understand how people with mental illness can dramatically change our lives if they have a bad day. and how to help people who suffer from a mental health problem. I believe we can improve many lives if we understand this topic better. Every member of society and the government should make more efforts to provide treatment to the mentally ill. Many citizens and government members realize that something must change in their situation, but it seems that none of them will take decisive action in the near future..
