There's also a lack of compassion for mental patients from those treating them. I had a therapist who DX'd schizophrenia and proceeded to treat me like crap. It wasn't until the State Medical Board got involved that he even regarded me as a human being.

I read somewhere that one thing doctors noted about Thorazine and the other early antipsychotics was that nurses were nicer to patients because they went from having what I guess was perceived as a purely "mental" problem to a "real" problem (sedation, Parkinson's) once sufficient doses of Thorazine were used. The physical ill effects of the drugs made the patients' illness "real," so they were treated better.
