Mental IllnessMental illness, as commonly understood, is the improper functioning of the
brain, the most complex of all organs of the human body. Such illnesses are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or some combination thereof). Mental illness may occur at any age, with the initial onset of some types of mental illness manifesting in particular age ranges. Mental illness is also indiscriminate of gender, race, or socioeconomic background. (Welcomed and Valued: Mental Illness Resource Manual published by the NCPD) |
