Are people with Mental Illness Violent??? - Busting Mental Health Myths - Part 3. Reference link : https://jech.bmj.com/content/jech/70/3/223.full.pdf
Now, this perception is further augmented by the media, which sensationalizes violent crimes committed by persons with mental illness, particularly mass shootings, and focuses on mental illness in such reports, ignoring the fact that most of the violence in society is caused by people without mental illness. This societal bias contributes to the stigma faced by those with a psychiatric diagnosis, which in turn contributes to nondisclosure of the mental illness and decreased treatment seeking. It also leads to discrimination against them
