> Does it make it harder or easier that people can't *see* what's wrong with us?
Harder. They can't feel the mental torment, emotional pain, the medication-induced chemical lobotomies, etc. They will never understand the loss of interest in everyday things. They will never understand our sometimes impulsive behavior and what causes it.
And often I think it is better that way.
