Mental Health and the law?

So my previous blog posts about Stigma in a nutshell has led to the person in question reporting me to the police for harrassment?

So today is not a good day for me as i sit here worrying about it, the whole hyper morals issue comes into play again thats for a later blog post though.

This issue brings up the old story of if changes need to be made regarding how the law should handle someone with Mental Health issues? Not me personally but someone in my position could easily be led to self harm or worse because of the fear of getting in trouble with the law, no matter how small or pettie the issue maybe.

Now of course i am in noway saying we should be wrapped in cotton wool over every crime or alledged crime someone with Mental Health commits especially murder, rape etc but a tiny mistermeaner to a average person "I refuse to use the word normal" will seem and feel like something big to alot of Mental Health sufferers and i feel that should be treated accordingly
