Why doesnt people believe that a mental illness or condition is a real medical probllem?

Hi,I did the following:

Why doesnt people believe that a mental illness or condition is a real medical probllem?It seems that unless people can see a "broken arm", a "bleeding wound", a "cancer diagnosis", "asthma" , "arthiritis" (and many more lables out there) a mental condition is less inmportant as the above. There are so many people that do not understand that it is real...it is a struggle everyday to just get to the end of the day. You are ridiculed for you behavior as irresponsible or inconsiderate. You get the picture. IT IS AS REAL AS CANCER OR AIDS OR ANY OTHER UNCUREABLE ILLNESS!!

I understand what you are saying.The head is a part of the body.The rest of the body can become ill so why do people think the head cannot?

I live in America, and I've never met anyone who doesn't believe that mental illness is not real, or is any less serious than physical illness.

Where do you live? If I can speak frankly, that could be part of the problem.

e yea & if you act normal or happy ,you`re a con-they can`t understand it`s an act,& you`ll pay mentally later. also they have no idea of how much medicine you have to take to act normal.noone in my family,friends( my husband does) believe i`m mentall ill,because i worked for27 yrs, then had anervous breakdown,maybe because i wasn`t hospitized-lots of out-patient
