The Unit 1 discussion forum centered around common beliefs and misperceptions about mental illness, while other forums challenged you to consider mental illness from different perspectives. Review your participation in these forums and share how, and to what extent, your perceptions, beliefs, and knowledge about mental illness have evolved during the semester. What do you think you will remember best from the course?
My conception of mental illness was very much centred around the belief that their origin is purely psychological and are under complete personal control. However, this course allowed me to better grasp the complexity of the origin and manifestation of mental illness and how biological, social and psychological factors combine to influence it. Consequently, I realised that individuals cannot and should not be “blamed” for their illness as in many cases, it lies far beyond their control.
