One of the lasting legacies of the historical movement to institutionalize mental patients is the idea that they are in need of being segregated from society because they pose a danger to society. Today, when schizophrenia is mentioned in the news, it is almost always in connection with some alarming crime. Some stories that have been popular in the media and which have added to the public view that schizophrenics are violent and dangerous include the case of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in a bout of postpartum psychosis, David Berkowitz, the serial killer infamously known as the Son of Sam who claimed his dog spoke to him and urged him to kill, Mark David Chapman, the man who killed Beatle John Lennon, and John Hinckley, who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan.

While there are certainly violent and murderous people who have schizophrenia and related mental illnesses, such individuals make up only a very small portion of the population of chronically mentally ill people. The vast majority of mentally ill people, including schizophrenic people, are non-violent people who never cause problems of this sort. Large population studies that have examined the relationship between violence and mental illness have shown at best a small relationship between mental illness and violence exists.

Just remind me where I said 'schizophrenic', I didn't even claim you are violent, I only made a list of people with the condition and gave my reasoning, I hate to break this to you but you probably won't achieve any of the greatness of the people you mentioned by making random and pointless posts on gaming forums.......probably........but I will be the first to concede if it ever happens.
