This report is a very good reference document with regard to mental illness and the improvements in health care. The report was prepared for use by mental health care service providers, professional and the general public in order to provide a better understanding as well as providing insights into mental illness. In doing this, the report is divided into three main sections, that is, understanding mental illness, causes and treatment and management of mental illnesses.
The first section of this report simply provides an understanding of what mental illness is. The first section begins with an introduction of mental illnesses by defining the different mental illness associated with most patients. The report defines the different kind mental illness including schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, manic depression, psychosis, and bipolar effective disorder. The report further explains the common symptoms associated with different mental illnesses such as delusions, hallucinations and strong fluctuations of mood.

There is need to address the social aspects of mental illness and provide safe haven for both the patient and health care provider.
