Mental Illness
The very idea of mental illness is contested. Given its differences from physical illnesses, is it right to count it, and particular mental illnesses, as genuinely medical as opposed to moral matters?One debate concerns its value-ladenness, which has been used by anti-psychiatrists to argue that it does not exist.Recent attempts to define mental illness divide both on the presence of values and on their consequences.Philosophers and psychiatrists have explored the nature of the general kinds that mental illnesses might comprise, influenced by psychiatric taxonomies such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and the International Classification of Diseases, and the rise of a rival biological 'meta-taxonomy': the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC).The assumption that the concept of mental illness has a culturally invariant core has also been questioned.This Element serves as a guide to these contested debates.

Puberty or mental illness?
Puberty and mental illness are two distinct processes that can occur during adolescence. Puberty is a natural and normal stage of development characterized by physical and hormonal changes, while mental illness refers to a range of conditions that affect a person's thinking, feeling, and behavior. It is important to differentiate between the two, as the symptoms of mental illness can sometimes be mistaken for typical changes associated with puberty. It is crucial for parents and caregivers to be aware of the signs of both puberty and mental illness in order to provide appropriate support and intervention for adolescents.

Does a lack of social environment cause mental illness?
A lack of social environment can contribute to the development of mental illness in some cases. Social isolation and loneliness have been linked to an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Human beings are social creatures, and our mental well-being is often influenced by our interactions with others. However, it's important to note that mental illness is complex and can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. While social environment can play a role, it is not the sole cause of mental illness.

Racism is not considered a mental illness in the traditional sense, as it is a learned behavior and belief system rather than a clinical disorder. However, some experts argue that racism can be a symptom of underlying mental health issues or personality disorders.

Explaining Mental Illness : Sociological Perspectives

This authoritative book makes a case for the renewal of the sociology of mental illness, proposing a reorganisation of this field around four areas: social stratification, stress, labelling and culture.Drawing on case studies from a range of global contexts, the book argues that current research focuses on identifying ‘social factors’, leaving the question of causality to psychiatry, while significant critical perspectives remain untapped. The result is an unprecedented resource that maps the current state of sociology of mental health, providing an invigorating manifesto for its future.

Reporting Mental Illness in China
This book examines how Chinese-language newspapers across greater China report on severe mental illness, and why they do so in the ways they do, given that reporting in local newspapers can strongly influence how Chinese readers view the illness. By assessing how the reporting in three leading broadsheet newspapers from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan constructs the illness, the book considers how the distinct social and political histories of the three culturally Chinese communities shape the reporting, and whether it bears out or contests the intense stigma against the illness that prevails locally.The findings can usefully encourage and inform attempts to humanise, include, and empower those with a severe mental illness across greater China and the global Chinese diaspora.Employing a well-tested, transparent discourse analytic approach, the book also includes numerous Chinese-English bilingual news report extracts to illustrate its claims.As such, Reporting Mental Illness in China will be of interest to sinologists, discourse analysts, mental health professionals and public health authorities across the globe, especially in places where there are large Chinese-speaking populations.

Sport, Mental Illness and Sociology
At a timewhen the public discussion of mental illness in society is reaching a highpoint, athletes and other sports insiders remain curiously silent about theirprivate battles with a range of mental illnesses.While a series ofprofessional athletes have exposed the deep, dark secret related to thepervasiveness of mental illness in high performance sport, relatively little isknown, sociologically, about what mental illness culturally means inside sport.This editedcollection showcases research on how sport, as a social institution, mayactually produce dangerous cultural practices and contexts that foster thedevelopment of mental illness within athlete groups.Further, chapters alsoillustrate how sport, when organized with sensitivity and care, may serve tohelp manage mental illnesses.Rather than analyzing mental illness as anindividual phenomenon, contributors to this volume equally attest to how mentalillness is socially developed, constructed, managed, and culturally understoodwithin sport settings.The book highlights the relevance of a range of theoriespertinent to the social study of mental illness including dramaturgy, culturalstudies, learning theory, symbolic interaction, existentialism, and total paintheory.Chapters range from the discussion of depression, anxiety, eatingdisorders, drug addiction, epilepsy, mental trauma, stigma, the mass mediationof mental illness, and the promise of sport as a vehicle for personal andcollective recovery.

Is transsexuality a mental illness?
Transsexuality is not a mental illness. It is a condition in which a person's gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. The American Psychiatric Association removed "gender identity disorder" from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and replaced it with "gender dysphoria," which reflects the distress that can result from the incongruence between one's gender identity and assigned sex. It is important to understand and support individuals who are transgender, rather than stigmatizing them as mentally ill.

Is homosexuality a mental illness?
No, homosexuality is not a mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973, and it is no longer considered a mental illness by any major medical or psychological organization. Sexual orientation is a natural and normal variation of human sexuality, and being homosexual does not indicate any form of mental disorder. It is important to support and affirm the diverse sexual orientations of individuals without stigmatizing or pathologizing them.
