Sure society is totally seeking to understand mental illness, is that why when something goes wrong the media/public automatically blames it on mental illness? First thing that happens with lets say, a school shooting, is that they presume the suspect is mentally ill because the shooter simply being angry isn’t a good enough reason. People may say they are trying to understand and be more accepting of MI but that’s just a bunch of bull and everyone knows it. We will always be different and misunderstood and hoping that one day we aren’t is a waste.
