Why is mental illness related to stupidity in the eyes of the public?!


Question: because all they see is us being vegetables because of their medication?


Answers: because all they see is us being vegetables because of their medication?

They insult and scorn anything that they can't understand or can't fit into their little box-y idea of a normal person.
Nevermind that most of them are just as f***ed...

i dont think it is..
it should be taken very seriously and i would never insult another person that has issues..

best wishes..

ex oh

Sometimes people think that ignorance is bliss, if they don't need to know or feel compassion, they will just sneer or turn their backs.
Mental Health issues are a sad thing as they are an unseen illness where people struggle to get through many everyday situations in life before getting to the next stage of their recovery.

sorry to say ppl don't want to understand mental illness and it the word mental that makes ppl back away

Lol, don't you know. It's because the general public is stupid!

only ignorant people would think that the mentally ill are stupid...actually, some of the most brilliant people in the world, have mental illness's....I don't see anyone as a 'vegetable' because of or in spite of the meds...I just feel, that you do need more compassion, and need patience, and love....not all people think that way

people do not understand that a mental illness is a illness of the brain --- if you have a cold you take an aspirin if you have a illness you take a pill prescribed by the doctor-
The truth is people DO NOT understand what the illness is so they make fun - they do not take the time to study or think about what they are doing before they do it -

we all have full control over how we are... even though our brains work different... (I tried to kill myself in a nonsuicidal rampage but hey I'm just an attention whore to the public I guess)
I''m Manic Depressive rapid cycleing severe manic but I can function just like all nonbipolars who have full control over what they do unmedicated...
racing thoughts, excessive spending and insomnia are things that only stupid people have to deal with I guess (my biggest issues right now)

Because they dont understand it, and beause they dont understand it, it scares the hell out of them

people are afraid of the things they don't understand and fear leads to lack of education on all levels. It is human nature. There will always be people with mental illness and who know about it fighting these views which is good.
