I thought this was interesting:
Quote:
Despite being a clinical psychologist for 30 years before joining Congress and being co-chair of the Mental Health Caucus, [Rep. Murphy, this bill's sponsor,] continues to perpetuate the well-debunked myth that people with mental illness are violent. In fact, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, “only 3%-5% of violent acts can be attributed to individuals living with a serious mental illness” and “people with severe mental illnesses are over 10 times more likely to be victims of violent crime than the general population.”
