What are attitudes towards people with mental illness?
Unfortunately, a lot of them are negative. American culture often makes fun of the disorders (if not the people who have them) and a lot of times people with mental illnesses will not seek treatment because of this. People are afraid of them (they think they might "go crazy" and hurt them) or see them as freaks. People may also see those with mental illness as "weak" and think that they can "get over it" if they try hard enough.
What are some of the misunderstandings about mental illness?
People sometimes confuse mental illness with malingering, a lack of willpower, and hypochondria. They may think that mental illness is weakness or something you can just "snap out of." Some fail to see mental illness as real. They may confuse mental illness with criminal behavior. People may think all mental illnesses can be fixed with medicine or that the medicines for mental illness have less side-effects than they do. To add to the misunderstandings, there are slasher films with deranged persons, and the news media often makes a point to mention that some spree killer was under treatment for mental illness. So the public only sees the most sensational of those with mental illness. They often don't hear about the success stories, so this feeds into the misunderstandings.

Well i think that it's because of depression or another mental illness. Maybe they can't handle their lives or they struggle with day to day problems- But that's what I think ^-^
Is mental illness to same as emotional illness?
I don't think so. Mental illness refers to any of the many diagnosable disorders in the field of Psychiatry and mental health. They include disorders like major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Usually, when people use the term 'mentally challenged', they are referring to someone who seems to have a deficit in intellectual ability or intelligence. An intellectual deficit is not a mental illness.

Of course! Involuntary when you don't have a mental illness.
Can a person who has mental issues receive the death penalty?
A lot of people in the justice system think that it is immoral to sentence a mentally disturbed person to death (it can depend on the severity of the mental illness of course).
Is talking to your mind a mental illness?
It depends what kind of talking. Generally, if you are aware these are your own thoughts (i.e. you don't have a thought disorder and think someone is planting them in your head), you do not have a mental illness. This is actually quite normal, and some people even talk to themselves out loud.
Is someone a mental case if they think that people are gossiping about them?
I do not think that "mental case" is an appropriate phrase to use for any mental illness. Perhaps, in this case, "paranoid" might be a better word here. The answer, I suppose, depends on whether people are actually gossiping (or giving an impression so that a reasonable person would infer they are gossiping) about that person!
