The downside, however, is that it’s sort of given us this idea that mental illness is inborn and unchangeable. The upside is that it promotes the idea that mental illness is not the ill person’s fault, and it helps us understand that mental illness can impact anyone, regardless of their life circumstances. Right now, the dominant narrative is that mental illness is “an imbalance in the brain” and that it’s largely something that people are born with. This is why the narratives we use to talk about mental illness matter so much. ![]()
