    It is believed by Mental Health America that 1 in 5 adults have a mental disorder such as ADHD or Bipolar. Behavior and mental disorder affect millions, and are meant to be treated as any other disease would be. These issues can have serious impacts on students. In an academic journal on the peer problems in children certain behavior issues, it was emphasized that "children with inattentive-impulsive-overactive behaviors, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and children with oppositional defiant disorder experience higher rates of peer rejection, isolation, loneliness, and fewer friendships" (Andrade 2183). The fact that One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest represents behavioral issues as not being an issue is problematic. Studies show there are many complications with such illnesses. Further troubling is the fact that the setting is a psychiatric hospital that does very little in the form of aiding the patients. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest should not be taught in schools, because it desensitizes student to the the illnesses that are behavioral issues. In addition to desensitizing students, the book may imbue students to act out, as they expect positive outcomes from their experience of the book. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest should truly be banned as to stop students from attempting to replicate the actions in the book, and to halt the desensitization…
