“People with mental illness usually only harm themselves. They can make life hell for parents etc but they only take it out physically on themselves if at all.”

That is not true - the prisons are full with people who have mental illness, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome being the predominant condition. They hurt anyone near them - usually without really knowing what they are doing.

You are correct on that. My reply was a quick reaction to what I have seen .... But in the larger world you are very correct. We have millions of deranged people incarcerated because they took their derangement out on others
