People who have mental health problems often feel marginalised and rejected by society, misunderstood, ridiculed and prejudiced against. Their conditions are often the butt of jokes, and much stigma is attached to having such a problem. However, the statistics tell us that anyone can have a mental health problem, and that 1 in 4 of us (1 in 5 children) will require treatment at some time. These problems may be enduring, or they may simply be a temporary glitch in an otherwise successful life and career. (Majority recover from mental illness)
In history, neurological disorders were considered to be the result of, for example, demon possession. We now know this is not the case, but society's attitudes towards mental health problems have changed little. It is increasingly being recognised by researchers however, that many mental health problems may have a neurological foundation - some are due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters.
There remains a lot we do not know or understand, but I hope that this site goes a little way to putting that right.
