Identifying

themselves or others.

Distress Behaviors: Thoughts or emotions that lead to substantial personal
distress may be categorized as abnormal.

Dysfunction: When a person’s inability to function appropriately hinders
their daily activities.

Deviance: Behaviors, thoughts, or emotions may be regarded as abnormal
when they diverge from a society or culture’s accepted norms or values.

(Sanderson and Huffman, 2020)

1. Myth: Mentally ill people are often

dangerous and unpredictable

o Fact: The stereotype that mentally ill

people are often dangerous and

unpredictable persists due to

prejudice; however, only a few

disorders, like certain psychotic and

antisocial personality disorders, are

associated with violence.

2. Myth: Psychological disorders are a sign of
personal weakness.

o Fact: Psychological disorders are
erroneously believed to be a sign of
personal weakness. In fact, they are
influenced by various factors such as
exposure to stress, genetic predispositions,
personal and sociocultural experiences, and
family background, just like any other
illness.

Common Myths About Mental Illness

(Sanderson and Huffman, 2020)

3. Myth: A mentally ill person is only suited for

low-level jobs and never fully recovers

▪ Fact: It is a misconception that a mentally ill

person is only suited for low-level jobs and

can never fully recover. The truth is that

psychological disorders are complex, and

their symptoms, severity, and prognoses

differ for each individual. With proper

therapy and support, most of those

diagnosed with mental illnesses eventually

improve and lead normal, productive lives.

▪ Psychologists hold diverse viewpoints regarding the

underlying causes of psychological disorders.

▪ While some emphasize “mental illness,” others stress the

significance of social and cultural influences, as well as

our individual thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, in

contributing to the development of psychological

disorders.
