the ICD recognises 7 subtypes of schizophrenia and DSM only recognises 5. The reliability of the early editions of both classification systems were seen as inconsistent and the vagueness of the DSM led to very low reliability in diagnosis. Schizophrenia was more commonly diagnosed in the USA using the DSM (80%) in contrast to England which used the ICD (20%). Although ICD& DSM have become very similar in recent years, they place different emphasis on the importance of symptoms of schizophrenia. The ICD also lists two types of schizophrenia that are not present in the DSM resulting in inconsistency of diagnosis depending on what classification system is used thus causing a lack in reliability.
They did allow living the AIDS affected people in society, but they neglected them and stayed away from them. There were bad remoras about AIDS in Bonang society. If anyone shared this thing they lost everything, but if they kept in mind it killed that person gradually. Writer clearly shows AIDS in some characters, but the effect was vague. We have to analyze the effect and how much is painful for AIDS affected
Psychopathic and Sociopathic Behavior Psychopaths and Sociopaths, for the most part, “[are] mainly characterized by lack of empathy towards others that is coupled with display[s] of abnormal moral conduct and inability to conform with the norms of the society” (depressiond, 2011). The main characteristic of Antisocial Personality disorder is the inability to feel empathy. Empathy is the ability to relate to another person’s experiences. For example, if a person’s grandmother dies, empathy would include having your own grandparent die, therefore you know the feeling. Antisocial Personality Disorder pretty much says that a person cannot relate to other people’s experiences.
The children in the community are treated very poorly and less than everyone else in the town. As the Salem Witch Hunts were essentially started by the children the fact that they were treated as lesser beings contributed to the communities demise. “He (Reverend
Social isolation, poor housing, unemployment and poverty are all linked to mental ill health. So stigma and discrimination can trap people in a cycle of illness. The situation is exacerbated by the media. Media reports often link mental illness with violence, or portray people with mental health problems as dangerous, criminal, evil, or very disabled and unable to live normal, fulfilled lives. 2.2 How mental illness can have an impact on the individual: Psychologically: - person may become paranoid and therefore exclude him or her self -person may become paranoid and therefore hurt others who she/he fears will try to hurt him/her -person may become isolated and therefore out of touch with other people and reality in general -person may feel unloved even if it is not true -person may feel like he/she is a threat to society and therefore attempt suicide emotionally: -person may feel isolated, unloved, paranoid, panicked and non-human (read Francis Kafka's The Metamorphosis)
Contrary to that, there are also multiple similarities between their societal behaviors involving mental illnesses and ours. In Jane Eyre, there can be many arguments made on characters that can be considered ‘mentally incompetent’ or ‘insane’. One example would be Aunt Reed, who found it impossible to care for Jane as her own child simply because she did not like the child’s mother. Today, Aunt Reed would be designated as having Avoidant Attachment Disorder. This mental illness would be diagnosed based upon her hostility, her criticism, her self-important image and her lack of empathy towards Jane.
The additional comments are made as an attempt to shed light on what is happening locally and the significant global issues impacting the severely mentally ill in our state and our nation. State laws that make it possible for people in psychiatric crisis to be hospitalized involuntarily in an emergency are poorly understood or perceived as too complicated to
Harper Lee’s Portrayal of Ostracized Characters in To Kill a Mockingbird Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat. Most human beings have a fear of what they do not understand. They sometimes discriminate against others because of things like racial, appearance and cultural differences, and a lack of knowledge to truly judge the individual. Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill A Mockingbird shows that people may be ostracized by others because of fear, lack of understanding or differences. This is evident through how the three characters of Tom Robinson, Dolphus Raymond and Arthur “Boo” Radley were excluded by society.
There is a conflict between the understandable medical practices, and the rules of prison. Recently clinicians have encountered a “bump in the road”: the lengthy solitary confinement of mentally ill prisoners has become a practice used by corrections resulting in more psychological damage to the prisoner. There has been scarce academic or professional regard to the unparalleled ethics-affined perplexity of all healthcare qualifiers when the mentally ill prisoners are secluded. When it comes to the well-being of the prisoners, as a society, we have turned a blind eye to the treatment of prisoner’s as a whole, which makes the unequal treatment of the mentally ill minority easy to do. Not only that, but consider this.
Mental health care availability among children and adolescents with mental illnesses cost more to get treated than the children and adolescents that don’t. Children and adolescents with mental illnesses in rural areas have less health care treatment due to the lack of mental health care providers and services than children and adolescents in urban areas.

The first component, which is coverage, assist and help patients get into the health care system.
