Mental illness has a really bad stigma and with the media reporting people who have killed people and they think the killer had a mental illness. That really doesn't help us, does it?

Yeah I know right, alot of people still think schizophrenia means split personality when they're two completely different conditions. I don't know why they don't portray people with mental illnesses in a more positive light in the media. I mean we're not monsters, we're human beings who have feelings too.
