You are LUCKY Johnny that You didn't Spend your Youth having Nervous Breakdowns and Caught by Insanity.   What I am saying and I shall Reiterate is that many of Our Psychiatric Patients are often some of the Brightest and most able of Candidates.  And yet to be diagnosed with a Mental Illness is like your Spirit being put into a Rubbish Bin.  Would it not be an Intelligent move to focus on finding Secure Employment for these people rather than let them naively flounder like a boat with no rudder in Hostile Communities.  Wouldn't it be a far Superior Option and one where Humanity takes a Step forward in the Treatment of the Mentally Ill that We give them a "Train-line" so to Speak.   Groom people for Work and Employ and only then use Medication in the Equation.  I feel I Slipped into an Abyss when I was Diagnosed and the fear was Palpable.  It has been a Nightmare ever since with People Looking Down on me with Judgement ever since.  People NEED to feel a Part of the Community or Anger Breeds in the Shadows.  I am Guilty and a Peace Activist so I can only warn that leaving People to bumble along against the Weight of Stigma is Cruel.  We Breed Dangerous People if we leave people as Train-wrecks at the bottom rung of Society.  We must Act more Constructively and get People into Sheltered Employment or such like and give People HOPE please.
