Because of the discrimination against mental illness, many people with mental illness will not take medication until they have to, and even if they do, they will stop taking medication after their symptoms have slightly improved, leaving behind their medical advice. They see the need for medication to control their mental activities as an unacceptable thing, and even hide their mental illnesses for fear that others will look down on them. Patients with physical illnesses, on the other hand, do not have so many worries because their families and friends not only do not discriminate against them, but also give them more care because of their illness. It is obviously unfair that the same illness is treated in two ways. Before the introduction of anti-psychotic drugs, the mentally ill were once treated inhumanely, believed to be possessed by demons or spirits, put in shackles and handcuffs, locked up in insane asylums, and even given beatings, burnings, and long needles through their tongues to get rid of the demons. Once a person is mentally ill, he or she has no rights and no dignity. In 1952, the first antipsychotic drug, Thorazine, was introduced, bringing a boon to the mentally ill and their families. It has been proven that most mental illnesses can be cured. Medication for psychiatric patients has greatly reduced mental disability and made a great contribution to social stability. The development of medical psychology and the increase of mental health workers in China in the past 20 years have provided new ways for the treatment of mental illness. Many scholars believe that “the twentieth century is the century of psychology”, and many experts call for “no real health without mental health”. It is the duty of each and every one of us to eliminate discrimination against the mentally ill and to take care of mental health together.
