The philosophy of mental illness examines the nature and causes of psychological disorders. It influences how we perceive and treat these disorders by shaping our beliefs about their origins, appropriate interventions, and societal attitudes towards those affected. This philosophy can impact the development of treatments, the allocation of resources for mental health care, and the stigma associated with mental illness.
