I think this is the biggest issue I have with people who speak so vehemently about mental illness yet have little to no experience dealing with them(which also raises the issue that "I have a friend that suffers" is not experience). The steps people take to manage their mental illness have repercussions, as does well-meaning yet wholly uninformed advice.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
