I understand fully the pains of the mentally ill because I work in a psychiatric hospital on a daily basis. I also see them get better and go home and live a healthy life. But on the down side I also see how the community reacts when they are released. The community needs a lot of teaching in relation to the mentally ill. They do not react the same way with people who have been diagnosed with hypertension or with diabetes. The only hang-up they have is with something they can not understand.
