RE: The Impact of Mental Health in Media Reports
Well, while this is true, it is also true that some mental health problems make people inherently violent. So maybe start describing the "mental health issue" by the name instead of categorizing generalized anxiety together with psychotic breakdowns.
I'm interested in your comment "that some mental health problems make people inherently violent". Which particular mental health issues do this?
Schizophrenia causing violence has been recently debunked when treated, but unfortunately there are some illnesses - like Schizophrenia itself - that make people inherently more violent when NOT treated.
Cheers
I'm interested how you came to that opinion. Usually people with schizophrenia shy away from the public especially if untreated. People using drugs and alcohol, have a much higher chance of becoming violent than someone suffering with their mental health . No offence but I find your statement really adding to the stigma that @bushie is talking about. I'm not denying that people who suffer with their mental health can become violent but then so can anybody else. I think alcohol is really something that brings violence out in people.
