Why is it, if people suspect someone has a mental illness they taunt them ?

When people suspect someone is unwell, they spread the word to others, or even shout it out " you're mad/ your head isn't good." If the person's behaviour isn't erratic or manic, why do that instead of calmly approaching the person about their strange behaviour and suggest the seek help.

Cruelty seems to be the go to behavior for people lately. Cruelty for the sake of it.

@JaggedLittlePill It's sad cause even if a person is improving and trying to live well, once they step out of society people remind them they are not ok which makes the situation worse.
