Things to remember. Be informed of the symptoms of trauma & other serious mental illnesses- the problem isn’t the symptom, it’s a *product* of trauma.
As insightful as this is, it also seems like a way to excuse destructive behavior. This can make certain people start believing that their actions are excusable and no one else can inform or critique them on their wrongdoings, especially when it comes to other people. There needs to be solutions to such presented issues, and leave out the coddling. Some of these reactions can lead to abuse towards innocent people and constantly treating mentally ill people as babies who can not pose as a threat only adds to the harm.
#i do not like when there are posts that present and acknowledge problems with the mentally ill but no solutions are ever brainstormed#most of the time is that you should *only* be nice to this person and have sympathy which is goid#but this only leads to the mentally ill taking advantage of this#not only that but people without these handicaps will claim disability and use this to be horrible people#stop treating the mentally handicapped like babies and hold them accountable
