I can't believe some of the people who responded to this question on a site that came up in a Google search:

I mean, many are completely ignorant about mentally ill people. Some specify severely mentally ill persons shouldn't be able to vote, but others generalize that all mentally ill persons can't understand the voting process, would be "confused," can't make decisions for themselves, etc.

The sad and frightening thing is, the majority of the USA and probably the world have a lot of misconceptions and just plain dumb ideas about the mentally ill, and some have the power to bully and force people to be discriminated against, restrict our rights, and treat us like second-class citizens!!! I'm so mad right now!!!
