I don't think mentally ill people are especially likely to rip your face off, and by insinuating otherwise you are contributing to the stigma surrounding mental illness. See http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/about-us/reports-studies-backgrounders/2529 http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/about-us/reports-stud... for some scientific background on the relationship between mental illness and violence. I would vastly prefer to be in a room with a mentally ill person than a chimpanzee.
