Do you think that people have more control over mental illness or physical illne!


Question:

Do you think that people have more control over mental illness or physical illness?

I'm asking because I know that a lot of mentally ill people, for example with depression or anxiety issues have been told to "snap out of it" and "get over it" but no one tells physically ill people to "snap out" of whatever they have. Is seeing really believing in this case?
In my opinion mental illness can be just as out of the sufferer's control as physical illness.
I'm not out to offend anyone with this question, I just want to get some other people's opinions.


Answers:

Having suffered from anxiety, depression and panic attacks for, as I have realized lately, most of my life, I'd have to agree with you that mental illness can't be controlled just because someone said "snap out of it".

Oddly enough, I seem to have gotten over much of my depression by drinking more water. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not.
