There are days when people seem to think mental illness is either a ploy to get attention, or a sign someone is evil or criminal.

(ie - Someone is depressed. "They should snap out of it" Someone does something bad "they must be a psychopath", as if no normal person ever did anything wrong.)

Sure, sometimes a rich person will make a complaint that will be stupid; about something that all of us put up with normally.

And sometimes they will run into trouble where money doesn't help. Doesn't even mean anything. They are just as human as the rest of us. Horrible things that happen to them are just as horrible as those things when they happen to us.

But again, you are right on the subject of mental illness.
