The reactions and feelings towards the mentally ill or mental disorders, vairies from culture to culture. In OUR society, mental illness is looked upon as a joke, or something that is disgusting or should be pityed. I'm not saying that EVERYONE feels this way, but a vast majority do.
*Thought Disorders:
-Schizophrenia
-Psychotic Disorder
*Affective Disorders
-Major Depression
-Mania
-Bipolar Disorder
*Panic Disorders
-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
-PTSD
-Personality Disorders
These are only a few of many that our Society looks down on as a disruption or threat to us. If you think differently, then by all means prove me wrong. But time and time again, comedians have used Mental Illness as their main act, because we think its funny. Carlos Mencia (love him!), is one of the main ones right now.
Any proof agreeing or even proving wrong my theory is welcomed.
