Psychological disabilities are moderated through medications much like someone with diabetes. People with mental illness have skills, experiences and abilities not affected. People who are mentally ill should just pull themselves together and think positively. New research shows that both the structure and the functioning of the brain in those with a mental illness are different than in well individuals. A person with schizophrenia has multiple personalities.
Mental illness is caused by family stress or other life traumas.
Mentally ill people are dangerous and violent. The disease exaggerates and distorts the personality. It does not change peaceful people into violent ones. Many individuals with psychological disabilities have to deal with painful, negative, fearful and exclusive attitudes of co-workers and supervisors, and resentment of the reasonable accommodations provided to those with a physical disability. To exacerbate the matter, most are unwilling to discuss these attitudes openly.
