Every time someone commits one it actually hurts the "Mentally Ill" by causing even more Stigma. A good chunk of that is thrown at us needlessly by both sides. The fact is while many talk about Mental Illness in these situations very few actually understand what it is to live with one or even what constitutes one and what doesn't. One thing I really wish both sides would do is check their facts and their own biases on the matter since we're often getting thrown under the bus for political convenience when these things happen.
