Available Treatment Ways of Mental Illness
In the recent past, prevalent perception on some severe mental disorders was dismal, and is considered to be marked by lifelong deterioration. Schizophrenia, for example, was seen by health professionals as having a downhill course. Emil Kraepelin, a leading psychiatrist in the beginning of 20th century, judged schizophrenia as hopeless that he named the disorder as “dementia praecox” or premature dementia. His writings had painted a negative concept of severe mental illness, followed by others influenced by his perceptions which were written in textbooks for decades.
Reasons for Occurrence of Mental Illness
The occurrence of mental illness can be caused by different factors or a combination of these several factors. Different explanations are offered by different schools of thought, such as biological, psychological or social explanations for causing mental illness. Current theories however, have mostly acknowledged that all three contribute in varying amounts to a person’s mental ill-health. Many psychiatric diseases can be classified as syndromes, or the association of several clinically recognizable features that do not always have a single cause.
