Hello Shane, mental illness is a tough subject to talk about because most just ignore this sensitive topic. I do agree with you in the last few years this has become a subject that is heavily addressed by law enforcement. This is an excellent topic to discuss whether or not the mentally ill can only be victims, and or perpetrators. I believe that the mentally ill persons can be perpetrators as well as victims either in violent crimes or crimes sexual in nature.

Some people doubted the current diagnosis of mental disorder and pointed out the existence of over diagnosis (James et al., 2014).

Medical and biological approach concentrates on chemical imbalances in the brain. More recent approach to the mental health is biopsychosocial, which claims that three factors, biological, psychological and social, influence the mental well-being (Engel, 1977, cited in Toates, 2010). Medications can be useful in treating mental health problems, but cannot be used in isolation from other methods, such as psychotherapies and support of family

These statistics show that metal health illnesses are a widespread issue in our world today. Although many people do suffer from mental illnesses, a large number do not receive the care they need because they simply cannot afford it. Mental health illnesses are just as serious as physical injuries, and therefore should receive equal insurance coverage.
There are numerous questions surrounding mental health, such as whether it is mainly caused by chemical imbalances in the brain or horrible situations, if some types are actual issues or something made up by companies to capitalize on the industry. Mental illness is a major controversy in the world, whether society wants to admit it or not.

In 2005, there were about 11 suicides per 100,000, and in 2014, we are almost up to 15 per 100,000. It may not seem like much, but it really adds up. Especially when people choose to ignore the problem. Mental illness is a very serious thing, it just needs to be accepted and should not be ignored. About 57.7 million people have a diagnosable mental disorder, and that is just ages 18 and older. One in five teens have a mental disorder that impacts their day to day life, and people wonder why the suicide rate is so high in teens. It is not anyone 's fault for wanting to commit suicide. A depressed person 's brain is not the same as a healthy person 's brain, they do not have the same thoughts about life or the same process for coping with what they are dealing with. People commit suicide because of mental illness, not attention.
