Abstract

The article discusses research findings on the misconceptions surrounding Mental Health Diseases and Conditions, particularly the false division between mental and physical disorders, which is attributed to dualism. The report highlights that this dualistic perspective contributes to mental health stigma and misperceptions about the prognosis and treatment options for psychiatric diseases. Experts from various fields emphasize that the efficacy of treatments for both mental and physical health issues is comparable, and that misconceptions about treatability stem from the separation of mental and physical phenomena. The research concludes that these fallacies are primarily driven by dualism, which hinders a comprehensive understanding of mental health treatment. [Extracted from the article]
