if the public did more research about mental health issues, and actually stopped assuming that just because someone has a mental illness they are good for nothing, they might actually learn something and be shocked.
trouble is, we live in a world where many people just don't care. and it's a sad truth.
the media's not helping either.
portraying mentally ill people as killers. how is that helping our image

100% true.
People have become too lazy and don't care about others (most people). If it doesn't affect them, who cares? That's their opinion. It is only when they have it that they care.
The media is just a biased, bad influence on every single person. Apparently there is only 6 main news places in the world. Any other news comes from a bigger chain, which probably is under the big 6.
Most mentally ill people don't kill anyone. If they did (which I am not saying everyone or no one does), then it would be more likely because of defensive reasons. But people blame it on mental health so.
