NEIL PICKERING has written: 'METAPHOR OF MENTAL ILLNESS'
Answer Illness as Metaphor was a 1978 book by the American Writer Susan Sontag. The title refers to various myths and metaphors surrounding some illnesses, particularly cancer, and how these may increase the patient's suffering and / or prevent proper treatment.
Hatred
Thomas Szasz is famous for opposing the concept of mental illness, and the institution of state psychiatry. He says that all mental illness is merely a metaphor for how society views certain behaviours. In his most well known work "The Myth of Mental Illness," he outlined how the concept of mental illness is borne not from science but from moral disgust or opposition.
Its a metaphor
"Illness as Metaphor" is an essay by Susan Sontag that explores the ways society perceives and interprets illness, particularly cancer and tuberculosis. Sontag argues against the metaphorical interpretations often ascribed to diseases, suggesting that they can lead to stigmatization and misunderstanding of patients. She emphasizes the importance of viewing illness through a medical lens rather than a symbolic one, advocating for a more straightforward understanding of disease.
