The lived experience of mental illness

Jo Ann Walton

pp. 279-293

Mental illnesses come in many different shapes and forms. The term "mental illness' may be used to describe something relatively short-lived, a problem manageable enough that a family doctor might be the only health professional called on for help. Or it might denote a major illness, or one of lasting duration, for which several specialist services may be needed.
