The Brain Is An Organ

The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show that there is a physical difference between a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling someone, “You’re not really sick. It’s all in your head.” is like telling someone with asthma, “It’s not real, it’s all in your lungs.” The brain is an organ that can malfunction as much as any other organ.
