if you do a little digging. I've done that a few times and turned up these interesting facts:

Women who have mental illnesses are more likely to be raped than women who don't.

People who have mental illnesses are more likely to be robbed than people who don't.

People who have mental illnesses are more likely to be homeless than people who don't.

People who have mental illnesses are more likely to be unemployed than people who don't.
