Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
