In society, mental illness is viewed as a disability; an unfortunate stain on someoneâs life. The ignorant view people with mental illnesses as helpless and make it their prerogative to fix them. However, popular writers, composers, artists and even presidents have been diagnosed with varying mental illnesses â and all innovated and found success in their respective fields.
While some psychiatric workers â along with friends or family of those diagnosed â believe that mental illness is a hindrance, mental illness can explore new ways of thought that fray the line between the rational and irrational and facilitates a creative and ingenious perspective.
