What are your conceptions of those with mental illness?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37346points) June 9th, 2010

Are people with mental illness shuffling, mumbling residents of special psychiatric wards of hospitals? Are they the homeless you see sleeping on sidewalks?

Are they functioning members of society with special medical needs? Can they hold down a job?

Are they somewhere in between or all of these things?
