Agree. Dislike any film where a person with MI is a violent killer, because statically speaking they are more likely to be victims than perpetrators. IMO, Law and Order SVU has done a good job with different episodes showing different MIs in a pretty reasonable light and with some empathy. Although they also miss the mark sometimes (thinking of an episode where a young woman with PMDD kills her mom, and then they say that because she started her cycle she couldn't have been experience PMDD - it's not that cut and dry). But I've seen them deal with schizophrenia in a very compassionate way as well as BPD.
