Mental illness does not equal violence, no matter how much the media and society would have us all think.

Excerpt of a comment by Feministe commenter Dao [Jan 18, 2012] (via hellnohugo) In your world, maybe. Ask the people who work in the mental hospitals, or prisons, or the police who get called to someone with a mental health issue every shift - and see what they say. I encounter both. The non violent and the ones who are dangerous to themselves and others. Don’t say it doesn’t happen just because it doesn’t in YOUR tiny corner of the world. |
