We understand so little about the brain and how it works. We can't actually see the person's illness either. Whenever humans do not understand something they despise it. We can understand physical illness because we've all had a cold or the flu at some times. We haven't all had a major mental illness and so cannot relate at all in some cases. It's a matter of Fear - what we fear we criticise.
This is one reason I intend to expose and have already exposed my daughter to those with handicaps and other special needs. I want her to be familiar with those things so she isn't afraid of them.
