I agree. If someone is diagnosed, or not, they still have a responsibility to attempt to be good stewards to family and the general population. One reason these disorders cause people lonliness, is becasue those who are healthy don't have to put up with abuse. I think its a good lesson for people who have mental illness to understand; that people do 'understand' that they have this problem, but they have to learn how to get along and not use the illness as a crutch or excuse for treating loved ones badly.
