I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Joshua, who participated in the documentary “Living With Schizophrenia: A Call for Hope and Recovery.”
Joshua talked about the stigma associated with living with schizophrenia and shed light on the reality of the illness: Those living with the illness often lead productive lives.
Rebecca S. Roma also is featured in the documentary. She provides viewers with a unique perspective: She works primarily with chronically mentally ill patients who are living in the community after long-term hospitalization. She has dedicated her life to keeping the mentally ill out of hospitals and the legal system.

I am sure you are aware that the vast majority of us do not fit the above description. Careful editing is required to provide the specificity that is always absent in the form, “the” Blacks, “the” Jews, “the” mentally ill.
I hold no animosity toward people who do not willfully misrepresent, but I do believe editors have the responsibility to correct misrepresentations.
