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...

What exactly is a 'normal' life...also I don't know a movie about someone leading a perfectly normal life but having mental illness might be a little boring, I mean what would the plot be?
