Why are people so scared of people with schizophrenia?

And yes, I am schizophrenic.

Mostly due to ignorance of what schizophrenia actually is.
Also there have been a tiny number of murders carried out by paranoid schizophrenics which are seized upon by the media, and people wrongly get the idea that all schizophrenics are dangerous.

If you're schizo, people automatically think you are violent, which is false. But people with schizophrenia are known to be violent, e.g. man pushing a woman under a train (somewhere), but he had a severe case and was repeatedly let out of the mental hospital, which is why the incident happened.


*NOTE*< that the person wasn't just schizo, he had a history of violence a long with other problems that shouldnt of been ignored by the hospitals. And he himself said that he shouldn't be out on the street.

Fear of the unknown...and the fact that schizophrenics always seem to be portrayed as killers and torturers in the media (movies, etc.).


And schizophrenics do not have multiple personalities like alot of people think. That's a completely different disorder.

Because people are afraid of things they know nothing about.

they are just jealous of how many friends the schizo's have.
