I don't think its the media. I think its lack of knowledge. Not only about the mind and disorders by researchers, psychologists, neurologists, etc. but also what they know being readily available to the average person. The internet is making that easier. I can't help but wonder though about the interactions of animals. When one is different, mutated, sick, etc. they often get excluded or anandoned. I wonder if sometimes we are not so high above instincts as we like to put ourselves and maybe this is another contributing factor.
