Abstract
The problems of abnormal mental health have confronted the human race for many years. Early theories were based upon the belief that "spirits" which had taken over the body were the cause of such a condition. During certain periods of history such people were looked upon as human gods to whom the others looked for divine guidance. However, as civilization developed, it was realized that mental disabilities were due to some other, yet unknown, cause. As a result of this, no treatment
was available for such a condition and very little understanding was given to such people. In recent years, however, this attitude has changed and the medical professions now regard people who have mental disabilities as patients who are suffering from a disease, which has a cause, and for which
some treatment shoed be given. However, although this view is held, the cause of mental illness has not been fully determined and no satisfactory treatment has been found to fit all cases.
