    I mean, there might be mentally ill people who feel compelled to do things like that, but they don’t exactly make the news do they?

      Because feeding the homeless or starting a sanctuary for pets is socially beneficial and isn’t considered mental illness.

        On their own, no, but if someone hears voices that aren’t there telling them to go feed the homeless, that person is mentally ill, just the results of that are socially beneficial instead of harmful in this case.

      Yeah we should be careful about encouraging mentally ill people to kill themselves and instead encourage (and enable) them to get help
