By suggesting that people with schizophrenia have no control GP post is contributing to the culture of fear and ostrasizing that blights many people's lives. "He's schizophrenic so he can't control his outbursts" flows into "he's schizophrenic so we sadly can't employ him" - and we know from research that this discrimination happens. Also: it is intensly frustrating that people leap to absurd extremes. Nothing in my post can be read as "it's okay to ostracize him".
