People with serious mental illness can harm themselves, and in some cases can mimic, act healthy, and this can be dangerous to others. It is often impossible to predict what kind of person we are dealing with, what paradigm his consciousness is, what is on his mind, and what actions are acceptable to him. On the other hand, I feel sorry for those who are burdened with mental illness and therefore cannot live a full life and are condemned to suffering.
