“People associate mental disorder with violence. We found that crime and mental disorder are linked, but not in the way people think: Persons with severe mental disorders are terribly vulnerable to victimization.”
—

Linda Teplin, discussing her research paper ‘Crime victimization in adults with severe mental illness’ (This paper is under paid access, but free articles summarizing it can be read here and here)

AHH this this this this THIS is why I will bust your nuts if you ever say “crazy” to mean: aggressive, violent, emotional, mean, or, well, ever unless you are someone who has the right to reclaim that slur.

Long post? Try submitting your question instead.

I'm Elle, and I am the person behind More Reasons You Shouldn’t Fuck Kids, a blog on my experience as a survivor of sexual abuse.

I am a Transgender, Lesbian, Taiwanese American, disabled, Appalachian, no-wave Feminist, and eating-disordered poet from Berea, KY. My life has been a big mess, and that’s okay.

Pronoun preference: she, her.
