In fact only 4% of violent crimes are committed by PERSONS diagnosed a mental illness. the answer is FALSEfalse
PERSONS with diagnosed mental illness can function very well under proper management by a competent doctor and support from family and friends.
The sad things are that there is a stigma because of under-education about mental illness. Worse yet the stigma and bad mouthing can prevent many loved ones from seeking medical care. I am reading a lot of inappropriate judgmental statements. Please make good choices or I'll be sending YOU to a time out. I will call you on it.

don’t even know. Whenever one of these massacres happens, people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and other mental illnesses brace themselves for the barrage of ignorant statements that immediately follow, even before the gunman has had any psychiatric evaluation. Statements from experts or “talking heads” on television like: He’s probably bipolar! He must by looneytoons. He must have schizophrenia. Mentally ill people should be locked up. But what hurts more than talking heads, some of whom are paid to produce sensationalized moments on TV, is when people I know make these statements—acquaintances, friends, and family.

    It's called "Social Expectation." If a person thinks himself crazy and others tell him he's crazy . . . then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
