Week 13-1 Designing Virtual Author Studies

Malina's Wall-Wisher

• Does mental illness affects a family differently than a physical illness? Do ppl deny the existence of the mental illness?


• Does mental illness have a significance in Marchetta's personal experiences?

In recent years, mental illness has become more recognized. Does this act as a crutch to those who in the past would have gone through life undiagnosed or does it allow them to get needed treatment even though nothing is guaranteed to work for any one individual?
