Behavior problems, mental illnesses, violence, abuse, crime, school problems, marriage breakdown, relationship challenges, and depression are all a result of our inability to connect or feel love and have a sense of belonging.

Choice Theory and Addiction: Another important idea in choice theory is that addictions and most forms of mental illness are caused by unhappiness. Alcohol and drug abuse occur because of the choices people make… it is up to the individual to take responsibility for their actions so that they can rectify the situation. If one can find a path that will provide them with happiness they will easily be able to break away from their addiction. Reality therapy is advocated as a way to help the individual discover this path to happiness.
