Montag and his wife are not exactly the most romantic couple and barely even have true conversations with each other. Because of the interactions, or the lack thereof, Montag feels as if he has lost her in a sense. Montag states “Nobody listens to me anymore. I can’t talk to the walls because they’re yelling at me. I can’t talk to my wife; she listens to the walls” (Bradbury 88). This shows that Montag feels depressed and without hope. The book describes Montag as “...numb and featureless…” (Bradbury 107). Montag’s state of mental health can be described by those direct characteristics. Montag represents a typical human being that faces an overwhelming amount of severe depression. Montag throughout the story expresses his anger for things such as the war and the planes making statements such as, “Jesus, God!”, “Every hour so many damn things in the sky!...” (Bradbury 69). These could be the overall reasons for the mood that is displayed.

This could be the result of PTSD. Montag experiences a lot of tough situations in the story as we are shown. Some of these situations lead to Montag reminisce on something from his past, experiencing some type of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “This dark land rising was like the day in his childhood, swimming when from nowhere the largest wave in history of remembering slammed him…” (Bradbury 137). This is a great example of Montag experiencing a flashback from a tragic event, this wave clearly affected his life and the moment he is experiencing now reminds him of the tragic day. "Again he found himself thinking of the green park a year ago. The thought had been with him many times recently but he remembered... seeing the old man in the black suit hide something, quickly, in his coat” (Bradbury 70).  This flashback could also relate to the PTSD problem with Montag. The author adds a internal conflict to make the flashback more inclusive to the reader. Montag has some type of problem with always experiencing flashbacks to moments that have affected his life in some way. With all this it can be concluded that Montag is facing some type of PTSD. ]]> 2018-05-08 01:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258759038 Hallucinations. 20ifirestine https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258771555  In the book, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, Montag seems to experience some types of hallucinations. Guy Montag seems to have a lot of things going on in his head, the possibility of some type of schizophrenic beings talking to him, or him seeing them, is very possible. Montag has a strange occurrence where he says “Did you hear them, did you hear these monsters talking about monsters?” (Bradbury 94). This dialogue alone may seem a little out of the ordinary, which gets weirder is that this came out of nowhere and Montag makes this statement as if maybe someone was telling him to say something. The monsters to montag are a symbol to all the people that burn books. “The Hound, he thought. It's out there tonight. It's out there now. If I opened the window . . . He did not open the window” (Bradbury 45) The Hound to Montag seems to always be after him. Montag may be experiencing something telling him that the hound wants to get him. Something in Montag’s head keeps reminding him of this Mechanical Hound. The hound symbolizes an enemy of Montags. ]]> 2018-05-08 03:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258771555 Mental Health Abuse 20ifirestine https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258774911 The idea of mental health and the abuse of someone with mental health is a very touchy subject and even though they aren’t exactly linked together, mental health issues could be the cause of many abuse problems. Mental Health rates have been skyrocketing over the past few years and the astounding at home abuse facts that are featured in today’s world must show some relevance of each other. The connection of facts can be mind blowing as “1 of 5 adults are suffering from a mental illness that is about 40 million americans” and with the youth rates of mental illness has been rising as the rates of youth with severe depression has rose to 8.2% in 2015 (The State). Also “1 and 3 women are abused by and intimate partner and 1 and 4 men are abused by an intimate partner”, these statistics are just like mental health rates going up and there connection is obvious (“NCADV). The abuse is ranging from physical abuse, to mental abuse, According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline web page it states six statements that could tie abuse and mental illness together (Abuse). All of these question consist on whether the partner of one being abused also sees the partner committing these same types of abuse with others ranging from family members, people at the workplace, youth, etc. and if none of these add up there may be no connection. With this knowledge it can be concluded that the one with mental illness may feel others as a way out and a source of release and getting the problems in there head out on the real people in there lives.

In our society the topic of suicide has become a major issue and is talked about more than ever before. Mental health issues could be a direct cause to many of the suicides that take place. “... 15% of persons who have been diagnosed with major depression die by suicide” (University), many people who have lost hope find their only resort is ending their life. Believe it or not it does not stop there, “People with personality disorders are approximately three times as likely to die by suicide than those without” (University). These statistics prove that mental health has a very close connection to the result of suicide.  “An estimated 6-15% of persons diagnosed with schizophrenia die by suicide. Suicide is the leading cause of premature death in those diagnosed with schizophrenia. Between 75 and 95% of these individuals are male.” (University). Schizophrenia a type of mental illness, where hallucinations and the hearing of voices occurs. This mental illness has shown that people are literally driven by whatever is in their head and they put an end to their life.]]> 2018-05-08 03:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258774969 PTSD 20ifirestine https://padlet.com/20ifirestine/k9tqlfch70u3/wish/258775020 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is well known in the United States because of the connection with war veterans. PTSD is a mental health issue where a person has trouble getting over a past experience, many broad or subtle things can remind a person of a past experience and cause them to act a certain way. Unfortunately in the United States “18.1% of adults in the U.S. experienced an anxiety disorder such as posttraumatic stress disorder” (NAMI). This number is astonishing, many people have experienced something so tragic to the point where the act out not knowing because an action has affected their lives in such a certain way. Many people overlook this disorder, but the statistics show it is not a disease to be overlooked. “Each day an estimated 18-22 veterans die by suicide” (NAMI). Since most veterans suffer through PTSD it can be shown that many commit suicide because of this reason. The overall stress on a veteran in the United States could be because of this suffering mental health disorder.  “People with PTSD often have lasting and frightening thoughts and memories of the event, and tend to be emotionally numb.” (Types). People with PTSD are trapped in their own mind. It can only be concluded that this is a very harsh and self breaking mental health disorder
