Towards a
Theory of Mental Illness Based upon the Buddha ́s Teachings
Abstract
An important
contribution of Buddhism to the science of mental health and its treatment of
mental illness would be to provide a “theory” that accurately describes
reality. Considering that according to one recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO), within the
next 20 years more people will be suffering from depression than any other
health problem, the matter of understanding what really is mental illness is of
the utmost importance if we are to find a successful treatment.
