People with Asperger's, schizoprenia or bi-polar should all be institutionalized

Hello again! Thank you for responding so quickly. I'm excited to dive deeper into this issue. You said, "mentally ill people do not stop to consider the law because they are insane...or just don't care about the laws, because they have their own hated agenda". Again, you're making massive generalizations. You agreed with me that only a small percentage of people with mental illness commit violent crimes. This means that very few people have such blatant disregard for the laws. For mentally ill people who commit mass murders, I agree with you that they deserve jail time. But you can't judge all mentally ill just because some people are like this. You are right that for some people, medication won't always help, and we can't always assume that because someone has medicine, their mental illness won't affect them. [1] Mental illness is something that people will struggle with for a lifetime, and it's not something that we can just wish away with a couple of pills. This does not, however, mean that medication isn't going to help. Hundreds of people have stories about how medicine has helped them greatly, and medication can be a wonderful solution. [2] However, it's important to keep on monitoring behavior and talking to a counselor as well- you can't assume that someone's fine just because of pills. However, your understanding of what these drugs are and what they do is not based in reality. [3] You say that mentally ill people do not want to be on medication. Can I ask where you got this information? I'm sure that some people have a difficult time with it, and that's natural. But it doesn't mean that the pills don't help. [4] Medication does have side effects, but the things that you listed are, frankly, quite ridiculous. I wasn't planning on saying this, but I have anxiety and depression disorder, and I take pills for that. There are side effects, but they are very mild, and I feel like they make an enormous difference in my life. [5] You are right that we don't have enough manpower to monitor every sick person. But if you think about it, it would take a whole lot more manpower to determine everyone who is sick and pay a ton of money to keep them in jail. We can't try to solve the problem by putting them in jail. We have to strive to find councilors and psychologists who are willing to constantly be there for their patients. The links that you gave are more examples of serial killers who have been proven to have a mental illness. You're right that this does happen- we've already agreed on that point. But I disagree that this should ever be a good reason to lock them up. It's similar to me saying, "Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot were all men, and all murdered hundreds or thousands of people. So all men must be murderers and we should lock up all men." It simply doesn't make logical sense. You can't judge all mentally ill people by the small percentage of them that make those choices. You said that "we could eliminate serial killers if we simply locked up all mentally ill people". I strongly disagree. You can give as many examples of mentally ill murderers as you like, but I'd still be able to provide more examples of murderers who were perfectly sane. [6-9] [1] https://www.thenational.ae...
