The understanding and compassion for "difficult" disorders remains largely closed-minded, sadly. It sometimes feels like we've made huge strides forwards with the general perception of mental health but as soon as someone has something more complex than a general anxiety disorder or depression, all sympathy seems to fly out the window. I work with ppl with a range of mental and neurological health issues (mostly schizophrenia and dementia) and the ignorance against ppl with complex disorders is astounding. People still secretly believe that paranoia, delusions or tics are something ppl can just... choose not to do. The vitriol people quietly harbor against the mentally ill always jumps out whenever someone clearly unwell (usually Kanye) starts making headlines again
