( Kay Redfield Jamison, 2016). In other words, anyone who has to deal with any type of psychological disorders has the capacity to get back to normal because they have been through other life situations that they have overcome before. A psychological disorder can be defined as a disorder that causes a person’s behaviour, emotion and thoughts to be in suffering.

One of those emotions is sadness, by showing what people go through during police brutality and racial profiling. You can also feel the helplessness Oscar went through as he struggled with money to provide for the rent and to take care of his family. For me it created a sad mood because I can relate to his story, by the way he struggled to pay the rent it made me think of the time my parents were struggling when I was small. It also created a furious emotion for me by the way the officers racial profiled because my uncle is African American and he been in that situation that he was racial profiled while being with my family which are Mexicans.

As a result, a majority of the world’s population isn’t exactly clear as to how one should approach those suffering from mental instability. Unlike physical illness, where an entire system of doctors and hospitals and medical research developed in order to cater to those who were physically ill, mental illnesses do not get nearly as much attention.
