Haley TTH Anticipation Guide Final Draft "Tell-Tale Heart"

People who are mentally ill are always aware of their sickness.

I disagree! And I think that because some people who have brain damage are also mentally ill but they sometimes aren’t aware of their sickness because  they were never told of the disease or were forgot when they became ill. But at the same time, people can be aware if the disease isn’t as life-threatening as others or they have been told of the illness they are suffering but this doesn’t make them fully unaware. For example, if you say have a serious fracture in your skull and have had it for years but you were only told your skull has only a tiny crack in it, then you are aware that you have a split in their skull but aren’t aware of how big it is... understand? Kids who have brain illnesses aren’t usually told because they are too young and won’t understand, too. In conclusion, I disagree that people who are mentally ill are always aware of their sickness.
