#1 Topic: Mental Health

As my topic for this Sociology course I chose to specifically focus on Mental Health. I am intrigued by the human mind and how chemical alterations can change so many aspects. Most of all I would like to learn how mental health is viewed in society, why there are so many negative views on it, why there is a stigma about it and how society deals with these problems. I want to tackle this topic because my cousin is a therapist for mentally ill children and her experiences throughout the years have been nothing but eye opening.
