Mental disorders is an area that few people know much about and many people fear. The blog article on mental disorders, (http://www.bettermentally.com/blog/2009/08/20/mental-disorders.html while well intentioned; deals with neither aspects of the subject. In 248 words, the author can do little more than mentioned most of the mental disorders that exist. The author deserves credit for trying to explain a few of the disorders briefly.
What the author did not deal with was the fear of mental disorders, and the reluctance of people to deal with those who suffer from these problems. In my opinion, this should have been a bigger part of the discussion. The author notes that "we" need understand the more about mental disorders and treatments, but failed to explain why. The why is as important as the what in this case.
