Simply---Lack of understanding and knowledge. Fear also plays a part.
Good luck to you, God Bless.

People in general have a hard time accepting anyone that is not 100 % average, and that is in anything not only mental problems, don't take it so personal, and if they can not accept you for how you are do not let that get you down. I don't know if you talk about your illness a lot or have major behavior issues, but other than that people on the most part should be ok with you.

Because people do not want to accept what they do not understand and also sometimes when people look at other peoples mental ability as well as attitude that they don't like they often see a reflection of themselves or someone in there family. Most people would be considered having some type of mental problem under scrutiny of any medical professional. It which one you can deal with.

You are generalizing. It's not knowing how to be supportive that makes people back off or feel defensive, although among these people there can be the non-understanding cruel lot. Lack of awareness makes people be angry or insulting towards people who need help. Not everyone looks down upon people with depression and problems. Stay in a supportive environment and seek help where there is help. You will get better. God Bless!

Because people, for the most part, are so set into their own insecurities, that they feel a need to hurt, look down upon, and overall deplete the quality of life of those weaker than them. Pretty messed up, right?

even though healthy people think there "top dog", seeing people with conditions reminds them that they are vonerable to be sick or have mental or physical problems. They dont like it so they strut there stuff even more and look down on people as a natural response.

Maybe they're poorly educated. People look down on what they don't understand as a defense of sorts. If anyone looks down on you, they cannot be your friend. It's their loss, however, so you should move right along and only be friends or do business with people who don't look down on you.

I'm with you, brother. I know how hard it is when other people don't aknowledge those kind of difficulties. One of the reasons why people look down on us is because they just don't know how to help us. Another reason is because they are scared of us...
