The mentally ill are not real people?

Question

someone here said so. kind of racism, isn´t it?

Answer 1

Maybe they are the only real people the rest are all brain washed .

Answer 2

It is not possible to be "not a real person" unless you are not human. This is just a form of discrimination which is (like racism) based on ignorance.

Answer 3

Since they cannot differentiate right and wrong.

I think that the person who said that is also mentally ill.

Answer 4

The mentally ill are an amalgam of many demons and spirits gaining the sanctum of one overcome and hapless personage ...

The breakdown of mental faculties is little understood by psychologists or neurologists. A breakdown of the minds immunity and protective filtration senses becoming receptive and sensitive to inexplicable voices and adversarial phenomena ...

Witchcraft facilitates the presence of unfettered demonic forces to possess an individual to their ultimate ruination. These forces are indeed deadly and genteel scientists experimenting or investigating the same become victim and are destroyed.

The problem, demons and torment persist and the stigma of mental illness prohibits further exploration of the existence of such parasites.

It is indeed highly unfortunate ...

**To the gentleman below me, a self admitted harangued by a demon, all persons are not mentally ill, although it may appear so on this forum.

Mentally ill persons are not intelligent; it happens that the intelligent suffer a breakdown in rational coherence caused by as yet inexplicable forces. It may assuage your conscience to voice such dismissive protestations, yet the humane unbeset by the virulent triggers of cackling tormentors are able to discern the iris aggressive vile factors at play.

I am able to discern this behaviour in other, similar dispositional persons, led to belief. Duplicitous leanings and loyalties maybe marring your reason and rationale. I loathe God, who lets me die not nor live. He is not entirely dissimilar to you, Jose**

**I have at no juncture inferred the mentally ill are not real, a human is a reality, sane or ill.**

Answer 5

I wouldn't say it is racism since mentally ill people do not constitute a race.  It is, however, discrimination and also very disrespectful.  Mental illnesses are just like any other disease that affects our bodies.  

Saying people who are mentally are not real people is like saying anyone with cancer is not a real person.  It would be terribly disrespectful to say such a thing.  It is the sort of thing I would discourage.

Answer 6

The answer posted just above mine contain many mistakes.

First of all .. .. demons DO NOT .. .. and I repeat .. .. DO NOT exist.

Witchcraft .. ..  IS BULL .. .. and I contain myself from further repetition.

All humans have a certain degree of mental illness.

Many mentally ill persons are extremely intelligent and caring and sensitive.

He or she who thinks that mentally ill people are not real people should be assessed by a shrink .. .. and given a high dose of true facts to cure his or her ignorance.

Answer 7

The one who said it is backward and ignorant...such people do not deserve a response.

Answer 8

they are still humans. perhaps it was just unfortunate for them that THEIR brains were mentally ill. they still have emotions (well, most of them... depends on the sickness) and make mistakes. i think it's disrespectful for anyone to discriminate those who are in need of help.

Answer 9

Hmmm.  That means you can become a not real person by becoming ill.  We should not limit that to mental illness, I think.  If someone has cancer, for instance.  How about we make it really credible and say anyone who goes to a doctor is a non-person?  The health insurance companies would love that, but the doctors wouldn't.  You can't force a non-person to pay a bill.
