A PowerPoint to help introduce mental illness and demystify it
Where did the statistics come from? I would like to see this research and get some more specifics.
I don't like that the information presented only shows numbers for criminals and violent offenders having mental illness. I feel that this would create a stigma that all people who are mentally ill are criminals, which is absolutely not true.
Mental illness is a general term for a wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. These conditions can cause distress and interfere with a person's ability to function in daily life. Some examples of mental illnesses include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. source, Autonomous Institute Of Health Sciences
