Mental Illness: Treatment Versus Prevention

When sickness strikes, it is a great relief to find that treatments are available. Warmth can ease the common cold, antibiotics can fight bacterial infections, and surgery can realign a broken bone. Last spring I dislocated my shoulder, but since then physiotherapy has helped me regain full use of my arm. New treatments are introduced all the time, looking at everything from stroke rehabilitation to chlamydia. These help improve the lives of countless people across every continent.
