I agree it's taboo because people don't understand it, and also, it's scary. The fact that you don't have control over your brain or your emotions or your behavior, it scares people. What scares them is that it could happen to them! It also scares them because it makes them have to think about their own behavior. I think it's less about the person with the mental illness, than the people who aren't diagnosed becoming nervous about the mirror that is reflecting their behavior to them.
