The continuing [music] inability to see things as they are, the constant distortion of people and events is one of the chief signs of mental illness. Mental illness is the abnormal functioning [music] of the mind when feelings and thoughts become disturbed and twisted and irrational unrealistic [music] actions follow. More than that, such behavior is repetitive. In other words, not only is the action [music] inappropriate to handle the problem, but the person persists in the face of [music] repeated failure. In mental [music] illness, it is no longer a matter of simple depression, annoyance, or daydreaming. All of which are conditions in which we find ourselves [music] occasionally. When these conditions go beyond the once-in- ah stage and become [music] relatively constant, then they are indicators of mental illness. It is recognized [music] that many common physical conditions such as ulcers, allergies, asthma, high blood pressure, weight problems. may sometimes have emotional causes.
