I think this was well said, and i agree with this sentiment. I also can see how easily the topic could be derailed if we were to, get into a debate about gun ownership or something that has nothing to do with the general subject of being unfairly treated. That said, maybe we dont need to know the specifics what what mental illness is at play if the discrimination occurred on the basis of any mental illness at all--meaning that in this particular case, there is no regard for exactly what illness is in question, or of its severity in this particular individual. I do however feel that, the discussion is hitting the other extreme of being too broad, since we do not know what is being denied.

On a broader note though, I think the trapped thing is kindof two-sided. Funding is always an issue for one thing. And as dandy as a case-by case evaluation sounds, the truth is that even that could get sticky and have problems of its own. Sometimes the only way around something is to make a blanket rule that just says no to everyone. Unjust treatment is unjust: there is no way around that. And "Mental Illness" may very well be much too broad a blanket under which to make certain statements. Life just isnt fair.
