There's over 9 million users on Tumblr now. Reblog if you're one of the few who's never EVER left anon hate in somebody's ask box.
here are some cool facts for you
it has been proven time and again in study after study that there is no correlation between mental illness and violent behavior, except in that mentally ill people are more likely to have substance abuse problems and there is a correlation between substance abuse and violence. mental illness itself is not a risk factor for violent behavior
yes that includes mental illnesses with psychotic features
“In this study, the prevalence of violence among those with a major mental disorder who did not abuse substances was indistinguishable from their non-substance abusing neighbourhood controls. A concurrent substance abuse disorder doubled the risk of violence. Those with schizophrenia had the lowest occurrence of violence over the course of the year (14.8%), compared to those with a bipolar disorder (22.0%) or major depression (28.5%). Delusions were not associated with violence, even ‘threatcontrol override’ delusions that cause an individual to think that someone is out to harm them or that someone can control their thoughts.” (x)
you hear that, motherfuckers
mentally ill people - and yeah, even (especially!) those who are sick in what you think of as The Crazy Way - are not more dangerous than people without mental illnesses. it’s not ambiguous. it’s not a matter of debate
how then do you justify using slurs that paint mentally ill people as dangerous
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are two and half to four times more likely to be the victims of violent crime than average
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are at an elevated risk for domestic violence and abuse
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are almost universally the subjects of ridicule or fearmongering in popular media
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are massively more likely to be unemployed and/or homeless than people without mental illnesses
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are coerced and abused by the professionals who are supposed to help them
how do you justify it when mentally ill people are afraid to seek help at all because of social stigma
how do you justify it when these aren’t just suspicions but observable facts
how the FUCK do you justify it
Making a "don't kill yourself" post for the disabled people. You are needed and valued. You deserve to live. Your needs deserve to be met. You deserve to take up space and have your voices heard. Getting healthcare is so difficult, and we deserve better. We will not be silenced.
