Mental illness is found in just about almost every household or either you know someone who has this illness, you just don't know it because that is something that most people don't like to talk about but, you can find it in just about four out of ten households. Most people just doesn't like to admit that they have a family member who is mentally ill or a friend so, they try to protect their family by not admitting they have that type of problem in the family. Where does it come from? is it genetics or were they born that way?, or did something happen so devastating in their lives that cause this disease ,and it is a disease that many of us have to live with along with the person who is mentally ill. There's one thing that is a fact ,and that is you do not get it from genetics and it is not in your genes to have this disease just because a family member may have it. It is brought on by some type of devastation in your past, something so awful and growling that your mind just can't handle it.

Some people are born with mental illness because of some sort of brain disorder but, it is not Thur genetics, because you can have a perfectly sane person and that person can have a sister or brother who is mentally ill. Forget about trying to tell a mentally ill person about something they need to do like, eat their food or take their medication because, anything you tell them that is right they are going to argue with you about it, especially if they haven't had their medication, they just don't understand you're trying to help them, and of course they don't understand because their mentally ill, and usually once they become mentally ill they may never return back to normal, and may need to stay on medication for the rest of their lives, it's not something that medication can cure, it just help them to get through their day, most of the medication just make them sleep but, they're still more cooperative when they're not sleeping, and it cuts down on some of the talking to themselves and schizophrenia behavior.
