People with Schizophrenia are not dangerous!

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-43003378 

The title of this article makes people assume that all people who have Schizophrenia are uncontrollable and deemed dangerous. This is not the case. We are all human beings. Second of all people with schizophrenia just like people who have thyroid problems, vision problems, hearing impairments and ...etc are found in the workforce, schools, and are a part of our society. The title is very discriminating and offending. I can already tell from the title that this is fake news. Another reason is that this article doesn’t involve or provide evidence of how people without schizophrenia acted and what parts of their brains were active. Not only this but the article is very biased and just wants to prove their point. There are no contradicting points included. There is several instances of weak evidences included such as: “Patients in a small study were able to land a rocket in the game when it was connected to the brain region sensitive to speech and human voices.In time, the patients learnt to use the technique in their daily lives to reduce the power of hallucinations.But this is a small pilot study and the findings still need to be confirmed.” This means that this isn’t even a theory yet and needs to have several more experiments or studies performed on larger and more diverse samples in order to prove their hypothesis/points.
