Are people really afraid of schizophrenics?

We aren't dangerous to anyone (as far as I can tell) except maybe ourselves.

My mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and a repeat felon for armed robberies after being kicked out of the family for getting pregnant unmarried.

@Anonymartyr My mother never gotten a diagnosis but I suspected that she is a paranoid schizophrenic too. She couldn't hold down a job, always ruined relationships with other people, and thought people were saying for following her.
@Chickie Im not really confident that the diagnosis was correct in the first place. She was a party girl but otherwise "normal" until I was conceived, born taken from her and she was exiled out of the family.
Maybe she became one but thats not a natural chemical imbalance but a serious negative response to an emotional trauma.

@Chickie hey wait! I have two of those symptoms!
@Anonymartyr she also became a heroin addict which is what led to the robberies and jail times.

@Anonymartyr My mother wasn't a party person but she was just like that until my youngest sister was born. I've heard that she did had a rough past.
