Illness/mental

Famous quotes containing the words illness and/or mental:

    The fact that illness is associated with the poor—who are, from the perspective of the privileged, aliens in one’s midst—reinforces the association of illness with the foreign: with an exotic, often primitive place.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
