Yeah, usually when a charcter is givena mental illness, the person writing the creepypasta don't know anything about that mental illness... besides, like I was saying, not all people with mental illnesses are dangerous.

How about a protagonist with mental illness? Or a protagonist who gets framed because they have a mental illness? That has happened in real life. In some town in Illinois, some cops got a completely innocent guy with a mental disability to confess to a crime, and he had to be releaed after years of being in prison because the officers basically talked him into saying he did it, without any evidence.
