> ...and some of them you might even think of as “normal”.

I like to think that I am “normal”, for example. Most people do consider me “normal”, and they have difficulty believing that I have Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

I make it a point about telling people about this because so many people have the wrong idea about what mental illness is and what it is like.

Television and the news media are, as usual, unhelpful.

> There are more violent ones than you think, if you count every out of control psychotic break that occurs.

There are quite a few. However, I encounter many more violent drug abusers than violent mentally ill people.
