I think a lot of people go between two extremes. Either they don't realize how badly the MI is affecting a person. They think they should snap out of it. The other extreme is being scared of the behavior that comes from the disorder. Nobody wants their life thrown upside down. It can be messy. People don't like messy. So, they are scared when they hear certain diagnoses. They immediately think of someone who has gone off the chain. They never think of someone who is in treatment and well.
