I agree, but then you go to places like Reddit where no one gives a crap about mental illness when guns may be involved. Like, I get the guns part, but the conversation always goes to the guns. And then when pro-gun people bring up mental illness, they're downvoted into oblivion and mocked. It is already difficult enough for people with mental illness to talk about it with others, if they even recognize it in the first place, so where is there a safe space for people to get help or talk? Nowhere. They go to a medical professional, they risk being committed, so they may reach out to online groups first. How many people have come to reddit for help, only to get blasted and yelled at over semantics or something equally as petty, only to withdraw into themselves even more? The reasonable answers are supposed to rise to the top, but instead the hive mind is just as cruel as anyone.
