Not everyone knows someone at a personal level who has mental illness. I was actually in my 40's before it was more than something out there in the world that REALLY NEEDED my understanding. Life is filled with needs that require understanding in people's lives & spending the time to educate one's self about things in the world that don't touch their life is next to impossible. Even just knowing someone, if they aren't close & require much interfacing with, one does not always have the time to really get a real understanding until it hits really close & personal. Problem is that some people are arrogant with a "know it all" attitude that spew out opinion rather than facts. Those kind of people I don't listen to in the first place
