I've noticed that the vast majority of the people in my life who have abused me have diagnosed mental illness

And the people of whom I care most about, the majority of abuse they have received has been committed against them by an individual with mental disorders.

There are many abusive individuals who do not suffer from mental illnesses.

@Aysel True, but I've noticed that almost all individuals with mental illness abuse others.

@Therealsteve Individuals with NPD might be more likely to, but NPD is also a mental illness and should be treated as such.

@Aysel I agree. And I treat the mentally ill with the disdain they deserve. They abuse when I treat them with tolerance and forgiveness. One of them went so far as hurting my physical condition.

@Therealsteve If feasible, establish some distance between you and them.

@Aysel She's 2000 miles away now. Unfortunately there are still people with personality disorders roaming my country. There needs to be a solution to these abusive people being allowed to freely spread around society.
