Lobsterhead posted:People really need to stop using mental illness as a synonym for bad/wrong/dangerous. I mean to be fair that's pretty much the only thing we have to go on. "Mental illness" is way more societally constructed than we want to admit. Again, not saying there aren't physically ill people who need help, but "mentally ill" encompasses a wide swathe of the population in America, especially if you start counting people who take anti-depressants as mentally ill. I tend to agree with you that we're far too unwilling to just call people assholes, but the term "mental illness" is just pretty bad to start with.
