People with mental illness are far more likely to be the. I tim of violence than the perpetrator of violence.

In this very case she didn't harm any other person but was assaulted herself!

So a few high profile lawsuits from rare events have skewed the perception of mental illness, and now someone with zero intent to harm other people is treated as being a risk to other people? To me that feels like a sub optimal but obvious happening.

It feels like stigma is increased, not decreased.
