Mentally ill people were depicted in some movies as psychopaths who committed violent crimes. |
|
Although crime is not a symptom of mental illness, movies often portray murderers as being mentally ill. |
|
In the past, people with mental illness were mostly considered as killers who love to kill and torture. |
|
Thanks to the media and film companies, mentally ill people are not any more accused of violent crimes, such as killing. |
|
In recent years it has become obvious that mentally ill people are more prone to committing violent crimes than the general population. |
