Is Mental Illness like being scared of a Snake ?

Right then ... someone asked me today if having a mental illness was like being scared of a snake. I said yes but the snake may, or may not actually be there. It may be there if the person has a psychosis element to their mental illness and they may actually be able to see the pictures that form in their mind.  Another person may not see a snake but they could have the very same frightening feelings as if the snake was there. Both are horrible and both cause confusion to the people around them and both are very frightening for the mentally unwell person this just proved to me how hard this job is going to be to really get people to understand the nitty gritty of what its like for someone with mental illness to live their life on a daily basis. This brings me straight back to "Dont judge what you dont understand" Claire Louise Jones
