When I was in a psychiatric hospital, I witnessed a number of other patients having attacks. It is frightening and painful to see. I tend to agree that for a person who does not suffer from the illness, that witnessing the attack doesn't mean much (I think of my husband here - he seems to think I am "acting").

Yes, seeing another suffer certainly draws empathy from me.
