What was considered impossible a century ago is now considered a way of living. Time can bring about a lot of changes, most of them good and some of them better. But with all the different changes, some things do remain the same even centuries later. The classification, and acceptance of mental disorders is still not as good as it should be, nor socially acceptable. A visit to a psychiatrist is still a thing to be looked down upon. One of the main problems associated with mental illnesses is that they do not enjoy the same awareness and importance as physical illnesses do, mostly because all the trauma is in the mind, and the physical effects are invisible or completely generic symptoms that could be attributed to a physical health condition. With changing medical scenarios and scientific advancements, thankfully, the most serious of mental health problems are now identified and treated with a combination of methods that work simultaneously upon the brain and the body. Issues like Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression are now recognised as illnesses and are clinically treated.
