The Neolithic era details the earliest treatment of mental illnesses (dating back as far as 10,200 BC). Men, women, and children alike from all parts of the world (the greatest evidence found in ancient Peru) underwent an invasive surgery, which involved physicians drilling a hole into the skull to reveal the Dura mater. This hole was supposedly an exit pathway for demonic spirits to leave the human body. This treatment of mental illness was know as trephination, and was the most widely accepted form of medical care for mentally ill patients (Feldman, 2001).

Mental healthcare professionals need to uphold their responsibilities to tell the truth, respect confidentiality, function as an advocate, and accept accountability for providing proper mental health care to their patients.

I would not trust them and I might even hate them as my depression got worse. If a mental health professional were to lie to a patient, like the example, that patient would tell their friends what had happened. No one would be able to trust that professional. The mental health professional would lose their license because they broke HIPPA regulations

In just a small, pink, squishy orb, many thoughts and memories are stored. The inside of a brain has always been a touchy subject, mostly because most just don’t understand how it works. Brains are trying to figure out how it can think, talk, remember, and even change. Everyone’s brain is different, inside and out. Most minds are small and round, but sometimes the brain looks different. In recent studies, scientists have learned the brain can have abnormalities, which usually leads to a mental illness. Another risky subject in the world is mental illness. Some people say that it is made up. Which it is not, because now science can prove how it is. It is not hard to see the difference between a “normal” brain, and an ill one. Someone who studies the nature of the mind is known as a psychologist.

For years on end, killers have gotten away scot-free, until the invention of forensic psychology.
