Yeah, unfortunately the press coverage leads to skewed concepts of schizophrenia, prejudice and even more ignorance that there already is.

In response to: which one has more respect from soceity?
I feel that the lose of respect is there for both.Some people are scared of something they don't know too much about.The media has never helped either.

Ex Cons in the U.S. can sometimes be alot more ruthless than the mentally ill. This day and time, there is no rehabilitation which leads to even smarter crimes being committed. The mentally ill are more inclined to be used as puppets, moreso than ex cons. However, the mentally ill in America are accepted more in the job industry because over 92% of ex cons within the U.S. can't get jobs, can't find apartments or housing Realtors willing to rent to them, or participate in certain events due to their background history. And if you listen to the American media, they demonize ex cons on a daily basis. We agree with one guy who say that they both are treated nearly the same. As ex cons are being denied Equal Opportunity for Employment, the mentally ill are having laws changed due to crimes they are committing. Breaking in stores just to steal cigarettes, is just one of the many things being implemented by the mentally ill. And not long ago, when Congresswoman Gilford of Arizona was shot by a guy suffering from Bi-polar disorder, laws changed all over the nation banning the mentally ill from the right to bear arms. So in truth, both are being given the shaft in one way or another.------ This thread is Archived ------

I'd be more wary of the mentally ill than somebody with HIV/AIDS. You can give someone with HIV their meds and be realistically guaranteed that they could not be a threat to you(they've recently proved that treated HIV can not be passed on)but the treatment for mental illness does not offer this level of safety, not by a long shot.

Everyone suffers at some point due to Mental Illness,crying,emotional up set,different forms of Depression etc,etc.
Everyone has Mental Health issues.
Usually mental illness is not the fault of the person although it can be drug induced,my view anyway.
