This week's learning is also intriguing and interesting as it enriches us with the comprehension of some factors which play a key role as signs of mental illness. Galanti (2015) defines mental illness as "a behavior that deviates significantly from the norm." (Galanti, 2015, p. 213) It means any change noticed in any individual's behavior is different from the norm, which is accepted collectively or as normal in a society. The culture also values other behavior; for instance, in some cultures, emotional control is highly appreciated, which means that if someone is expressive, he deems to be unstable.
