We’re talking about people with severe mental illness. They are not able to reason effectively and rationally.
- habinero 4y agoThat's flat out not true.
- l33t233372 4y agoI’m not sure what you mean. Not being able to reason effectively is basically the definition of severe mental illness.
- habinero 4y agoThat's a frankly stale misconception based on old prejudice and Hollywood tropes. It's unmoored from reality. Mental illness is not a monolith and it does not present the same way for different people. It also doesn't mean you lose any ability to reason or understand what's being done to you. I would highly recommend you refrain from commenting on this topic until you can correct your broader misunderstandings. Sharing misinformation and FUD helps nobody.
- l33t233372 4y ago> Mental illness is not a monolith and it does not present the same way for different people. I agree. Of course it isn’t. However, saying that people affected by severe mental illness are able to think clearly and rationally is almost definitionally false. If their ability to think clearly and rationally were not afflicted, they wouldn’t be experiencing a mental disorder. Further, just saying that I have misunderstandings, am spreading FUD, and should stop commenting without yourself providing cogent reasons why I am mistaken helps nobody.
