Yes, I agree. We don't understand mental illness, and this bothers us. We fear lack of explanation and control. Mental health is something that scares us because it breaks the illusion of our agency.
We can choose to be empathetic. Yet empathy requires the courage to imagine yourself as a person with mental health problems, and accepting that under the right circumstances, that can be you.
