After the Oregon shooting, the President said: ’we are not the only country that has people with mental illness or want to harm other people’. As the shooter wasnt diagnosed mentally ill, saying this confused what mental illness is
Illness causes suffering to the individual. The term Psychopath refers to a born personality type & is not a medical diagnosis. Anger is not a mental illness
Look at the case of Anders Breivik who was declared sane during his verdict
Saying killers have mental illness is to say that ISIL terrorists have mental illness
When starting a jail term, only 18% are diagnosed with mental illness, while 70% abuse substances
People with mental illness face constant prejudice
The White House must be responsible with its words & educate itself on what mental illness is
