Your article was succint and to the point, and I especially like the inclusion of specific statistics to counteract this terrible stigma. The irony in the following line says it best: where the media portrays the mentally ill as criminals, "people with mental illness are more often the victims of crime than its perpetrators and are no more violent than people who do not have mental illness."
