My inspiration comes from Genius or Psychotic, a novel adapted from several real stories. The main characters of each story form a special group – people with mental illness. I think the author wants to convey an idea that due to differences in individual perspectives, there are surely divergences in ways of thinking and reasoning. The author is more willing to believe that the so-called “people with mental illness” are only different in their perspective and way of thinking. In the book, the author describes loads of such cases, explicating their smart ideas and their thinking logic, observing the world from their point of view, putting on their shoes and inspecting ourselves. I am attracted by his idea, though it sounds a bit incredible. I was inspired, and became interested in the world of these people, and how they see the world? So I began to collect information about mental illness. After a painstaking research, I realised that novel is, after all, fictional, and is far from reality. I was shocked upon a WHO report "One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. Treatments are available, but nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Stigma, discrimination and neglect prevent care and treatment from reaching people with mental disorders, says the World Health Organization (WHO). Where there is neglect, there is little or no understanding. Where there is no understanding, there is neglect. A lack of urgency, misinformation, and competing demands are blinding policy-makers from taking stock of a situation where mental disorders figure among the leading causes of disease and disability in the world, says WHO. Depressive disorders are already the fourth leading cause of the global disease burden. They are expected to rank second by 2020, behind ischaemic heart disease but ahead of all other diseases." The findings revealed the cruelty of the real world, and exposed a serious issue. The more I can understand their ideas, the more pain I can feel on them, which makes me even more interested in the subject. I want to keep people with more attention to this group, to understand and help this group. In the process, I see not only their deficiencies, but also their beauty, wisdom, creativity, so that I become more considerate and tolerant. In the meantime, I’d like everyone to realise that mental illness is not so unbearable or horrible. As the Chinese saying goes, “treat a disease early before it takes a hold”. Mental illness, like other diseases, should be spotted, treated as early as possible to maximize the probability of rehabilitation. However, most people are poorly informed of such illnesses and feel panic about them. When it happens, the patients’ family, or even the patient himself may not be aware of that, and therefore unable to seek professional help timely. We should be more accepting to mental illnesses, either for others’ sake or for our own good.
La mia ispirazione deriva da Genius o Psychotic, un romanzo adattato da diverse storie reali. I personaggi principali di ogni storia formano un gruppo speciale - persone con malattia mentale. Penso che l'autore vuole trasmettere un'idea che, a causa delle differenze nelle singole prospettive, ci sono sicuramente divergenze nei modi di pensare e di ragionare. L'autore è più disposto a credere che le cosiddette "persone con malattie mentali" sono solo diverse nella loro prospettiva e nel modo di pensare. Nel libro, l'autore descrive un sacco di tali casi, spiegando le loro idee intelligenti e la loro logica di pensiero, osservando il mondo dal loro punto di vista, mettendo le loro scarpe e ispezionando noi stessi. Sono attratto dalla sua idea, anche se sembra un po 'incredibile. Sono stato ispirato e sono diventato interessato al mondo di queste persone e come vedono il mondo? Così ho cominciato a raccogliere informazioni sulla malattia mentale. Dopo una ricerca minuziosa, ho capito che il romanzo è, dopo tutto, immaginario, ed è tutt'altro che realtà. Sono rimasto scioccato da un rapporto dell'OMS "Una di quattro persone nel mondo subirà disturbi mentali o neurologici ad un certo punto della loro vita. Attualmente, circa 450 milioni di persone soffrono di tali condizioni, mettendo i disturbi mentali tra le principali cause di malati, salute e disabilità in tutto il mondo. Sono disponibili trattamenti, ma quasi i due terzi delle persone con un disturbo mentale conosciuto non richiedono mai aiuto da un professionista sanitario. Stigma, discriminazione e negligenza impediscono la cura e il trattamento a raggiungere persone con disturbi mentali, dice l'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (WHO). Dove c'è abbandono, c'è poca o nessuna comprensione. Dove non esiste alcuna comprensione, non esiste negligenza. La mancanza di urgenza, la disinformazione e le richieste concorrenti sono i produttori politici accecanti a prendere in considerazione una situazione in cui i disturbi mentali figurano tra le principali cause di malattie e disabilità nel mondo, dice l'OMS. I disturbi depressivi sono già la quarta causa principale dell'onere della malattia globale. Si prevede che siano posti al secondo posto entro il 2020, dietro la malattia cardiaca ischemica, ma davanti a tutte le altre malattie. "I risultati hanno rivelato la crudeltà del mondo reale e hanno esposto un problema serio. Più riesco a capire le loro idee, più dolore che posso voglio sentirmi ancora più interessato al soggetto, voglio mantenere la gente con maggiore attenzione a questo gruppo, per capire e aiutare questo gruppo. Nel processo, non vedo non solo le loro carenze, ma anche la loro bellezza, la loro saggezza , in modo da diventare più attento e tollerante, nel frattempo desidero che tutti si rendano conto che la malattia mentale non è così insopportabile o orribile, come dice il cinese "trattare una malattia prima che prenda una presa" La malattia mentale, come altre malattie, dovrebbe essere individuata, trattata il più presto possibile per massimizzare la probabilità di riabilitazione, ma la maggior parte delle persone è poco informata di tali malattie e si sente preoccupata di loro. persino il il paziente stesso non può essere a conoscenza di questo, e pertanto incapace di richiedere aiuto professionale tempestivamente. Dobbiamo essere più accettabili alle malattie mentali, sia per gli altri che per il nostro bene.

Abstract
My inspiration comes from Genius or Psychotic, a novel adapted from several real stories. The main characters of each story form a special group – people with mental illness. I think the author wants to convey an idea that due to differences in individual perspectives, there are surely divergences in ways of thinking and reasoning. The author is more willing to believe that the so-called “people with mental illness” are only different in their perspective and way of thinking. In the book, the author describes loads of such cases, explicating their smart ideas and their thinking logic, observing the world from their point of view, putting on their shoes and inspecting ourselves. I am attracted by his idea, though it sounds a bit incredible. I was inspired, and became interested in the world of these people, and how they see the world? So I began to collect information about mental illness. After a painstaking research, I realised that novel is, after all, fictional, and is far from reality. I was shocked upon a WHO report "One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. Treatments are available, but nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Stigma, discrimination and neglect prevent care and treatment from reaching people with mental disorders, says the World Health Organization (WHO). Where there is neglect, there is little or no understanding. Where there is no understanding, there is neglect. A lack of urgency, misinformation, and competing demands are blinding policy-makers from taking stock of a situation where mental disorders figure among the leading causes of disease and disability in the world, says WHO. Depressive disorders are already the fourth leading cause of the global disease burden. They are expected to rank second by 2020, behind ischaemic heart disease but ahead of all other diseases." The findings revealed the cruelty of the real world, and exposed a serious issue.
