In movies and in serials, people with mental illnesses are always portrayed as criminals. I can't remember a single movie or serial, where a person with mental illness is actually treated as a normal person. Why this taboo and will this ever change? Not everyone with mental illnesses commit crimes. They are normal people except for the fact that their normal functioning is affected somewhat. Through this, it's only reinforcing the stigma against people with mental illnesses and preventing them from seeking help.
