Question 5 • SHS Alt Psychology S2 - 2021

Which of the following is not an accurate statement regarding mental illness?

Answer
A
Some mental disorders, though not curable, can be treated with medication.
B
Some people with mental disorders are able to live normal, productive lives.
C
Usually, only individuals with severe mental disorders will display odd behavior.
D
Individuals with mental disorders often have violent tendencies.

Explanation

Having a mental disorder does not mean someone is likely to be violent. Most people with mental disorders are not violent, and people with these conditions are often more likely to be harmed than to harm others. Some disorders can be treated with medication, and many people with mental disorders live productive lives, so the claim about violent tendencies is not accurate.
