I and I am sure everyone else did not decide to be this way.
Have a good day and people think you are a liar.
A bad day at best you are moody and odd.
A ugly day and you are a complete nuisance and a waste of space. You are using valuable health care resources that a more deserving person could have used.
We are not understood...
Then we get more ill and isolate further...

Well... I don't know the answer to this.
Perhaps it goes back to the species' earliest development. For many eons anyone who couldn't pull their weight, so to speak, was a burden & perhaps even a potential threat to the tribe. A person with an obvious physical disability would, perhaps, have been given a pass. But you can't see a psychological disability. So it's easier to dismiss it. At least that's what occurs to me. (I'm not very good at these kinds of theoretical conundrums.)
But I do agree with your assessment of the way people with psychological disabilities are treated. It's part of why I simply prefer to be left alone.
