Mental illness isn't just depression and stress alone, there a different types that are sometimes hard to identify and people would rather label those that have such conditions as crazy.
Here we'll be giving you a few list of mental illness that are often common but undiagnosed.
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a condition characterized by a lack of empathy and regard for other people. People who have antisocial personality disorder have little or no regard for right or wrong. They antagonize others and often act insensitively or in an unfeeling manner.
People with antisocial personality disorder are more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviours and dangerous activities. Those with the disorder are often described as having no conscience and feel no regret or remorse for their harmful actions
A person with a borderline personality disorder (BPD), most probably feels like they are on a rollercoaster — and not just because of their unstable emotions or relationships, but also because of their wavering sense of who they are.
Schizophrenia is a long term mental disorder that involves a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion and behaviour leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions, and feelings. There is a withdrawal from reality into a world of fantasy, delusion or false beliefs. It affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others. It is often hard to spot because there’s usually no specific trigger and the exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown. Paranoid schizophrenia or schizophrenia with paranoia is often the complex disorder that is more easily recognised. People with schizophrenia or paranoid schizophrenia have an altered perception of reality.
Depression is described as a long-lasting and often all-encompassing mental health condition that may be caused by genetics and unbalanced brain chemistry. Many people wrongly assume that difficult, stressful and traumatic events alone may trigger depression. In many individuals irregular brain chemistry relates into depression without identifiable situational causes. This brain chemistry or the biochemical processes that control the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sometimes malfunction without an apparent reason, leading to depression.
Psychosis or a Psychotic disorder is a group of serious illnesses that affect the mind. They make it hard for someone to think clearly, make good judgments, respond emotionally, communicate effectively, understand reality, and behave appropriately.
These are just a few and once you start researching you'll realise that there is a whole bunch that haven't been listed above.
