PE 6/23 Elyn Saks: Seeing Mental Illness


 * chronic: lasting for a long time; constantly recurring
ex> My nephew suffered from chronic asthma until his family moved to a new house.

* psychiatry: the study and treatment of mental illness
ex> Our daughter wants to study psychiatry when she enters college.
Note> Psychologist vs. psychiatrist? The primary difference is that a psychiatrist must go to medical school and can prescribe medication. Psychologists and psychiatrists often work together to treat patients.

* end up: to reach a final destination or result
ex> We had planned to get home early, but we ended up at a noraebang until 3 am.

* stay clear of: to avoid (someone)
ex> While Herman is in training, he will have to stay clear of pizza and beer.
Note> You can also “steer clear of” something and mean the same thing.

* that’s not to say: this does not mean
ex> I can’t meet you this evening, but that’s not to say I don’t want to see you.

* shatter: to damage, destroy, or weaken
ex> We were shattered by the news that our favorite professor was leaving the university.

* turn out: To “turn out” also refers to people attending an event, e.g. “Over thirty people turned out at the soccer game.” Conversely, “turn in” means to go to bed, “turn up” means to appear somewhere, and “turn down” means to refuse something. “Turn” is a very busy word in English expressions!

ex> My nephew was a wild kid, but he’s turned out to be a kind, gentle young man.
