Mental illness is one of the growing illnesses in the United States. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, 1 in 5 adults experience a mental health problem each year. 1 in 20 people live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. If the person has five family members, one of them could be diagnosed with a mental illness. If there are 40 students in a classroom, at least two of them could be living with a serious mental illness. Although mental illness is familiar to us, it remains misunderstood and stigmatized. So why do so many people still have poor knowledge and attitudes towards mental illness? There are many sources of stigma, but one of the main sources is people's ignorance.

Furthermore, if mental illness is a myth, how are they going to explain that certain mental illnesses are genetic disorders like autism, schizophrenia, manic-depressive illness? I would refute this argument with this article "Mental Illness is an Illness" which is an article stating that "First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton" and Steven Hyman, who is "Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, claim that Mental illnesses are real and treatable illnesses. » talks about how mental illness is a real illness.
