There is a long history of stigmatizing those with mental illness in our country (and in the world). Write an essay in which you answer the following questions. Do you think mental illness is fundamentally different from physical illness (such as
high cholesterol or cancer or a broken arm), and if so, how? Do you think mental illness and those with mental illness should be perceived differently, why or why not? Do you think benefit programs (i.e., health insurance, long-term disability) should cover mental health care as much as they cover physical illness, why or why not? Your essay must incorporate two scholarly sources to support your points.
