MI stigma is so pervasive... and is compounded my movie culture... My country is crazy about movies... and the problem is .. movies always show MI person as someone very extreme in behavior, or someone who has lost his mind and roaming on the streets like a lunatic.... Yes.. these are also cases of MI but probably 1 or 2%...

The problem is when they show only these 1 or 2%, the whole society think MI are like that and need to be afraid of... This is crazy....why cant they show some "normal person" leading "normal life" with mental illness and struggling with it akin to showing a person who had physical injury and leading a normal life...
