There's tremendous stigma about mental illness from the media. There's tremendous stigma about mental illness from the general population.

It's currently estimated that 2.9% of the mentally ill population are violent. It's higher than the norm (+/- 1%), but hardly what it's rumored to be. That's attributed or psychosis, delusions, medication problems, hallucinations and antisocial personality traits.

@Graylight I agree
sometimes but compassion on people who are facing unnecessary difficulties in life can help them immensely. And helping them by having an informed and enlightened attitude!

a little bit of kindness and compassion and understanding trying to help these ppl not stigmatise them is what's needed mental health is so important and it is stigmatised and made taboo which is wrong on so many levels
