Unfair Expectations

1. Those with mental illnesses may find it hard to be with someone without that same mental illness at times when they can't sympathize.

2. Pressure builds up on people with a mental illness because society holds people to standards that they may not be able to live up to.

3. It's unfair to expect the same from a person with a mental illness and one without.

4. People with mental illnesses do have the abilities of anybody else, but may have to work slower to do so.
