| Erasing the Stigma of Mental Illness
|
Debra S. Gorin, M.D. |

| Treatment of Mental Illness
|
Arthur Buchanan |

| What Causes Mental Illness?
|
News Canada |
| Lots of myths surround mental illness. For instance, many still think that it's something that can be cured simply by 'toughening up' or by adopting a better outlook on life. In fact, mental illness is not caused by 'moral' weakness, and it's clearly not something that people 'choose' to have. Mental illness is a diagnosable illness that requires treatment, just like diabetes. |
